Alexathe virtual assistant amazonarrived in Spain in 2018 so that users could interact with their voice through the smart speakers of the brand. Since then, this technology keeps our homes more organized and entertaining by being connected to the Wi-Fi network or directly to the Internet, in addition to having a multitude of uses.
One of these brand speakers is the Amazon Echo Dotwhich has several functions such as its alarm clock capabilities, alarm control and, obviously, the control of the speaker itself via Bluetooth, but you can also make a speed test of your internet with him and this is unknown to the vast majority of people.
This is how you can perform an internet speed test with the Amazon Echo Dot
First of all, the first thing we have to say is that you can only do this with the Amazon Echo Dot 4th and 5th generation and, to know the speed of our internet in order to know the capacity of our Wifi connection, we need the app Alexa. Once we enter it we have to go to ‘Devices’, select ours and enter ‘Configuration’.
Once we are in ‘Configuration’ We have to look for the Wifi network section and within it we can see an option under the name ‘Run speed test’. Once we click on it, animated ellipses will appear indicating that the process is being carried out. Once finished we will see the result with date and time in which it has been carried out.
That information will be saved and stored in a registry to have the reference of the last time the internet speed was measured and to be able to buy if one day we detect a problem. We know that there are many pages on Google that allow you to measure the speed of your internetbut if you have this device you won’t have to waste time looking for it.
