Connection & Online Safety Tools

Internet Speed & IP Check

Quickly confirm your IP address and run a professional speed test in a new tab to check your connection quality.

Your IP address

Detecting your IP address…

How to understand the results

Most homes and small offices work best with speeds above 50 Mbps for both download and upload. If you see results below that, you may notice buffering, slow websites, dropped video calls, or smart-home devices failing to connect reliably.

If your Speedtest results are under 50 Mbps, email me at support@homenetiq.ca. I can help review your modem, router, Wi-Fi coverage, and internet plan to improve your experience.

When you use public Wi-Fi (cafés, hotels, airports), your IP address and traffic on that network can often be visible to others or to the provider. A VPN helps protect your privacy by hiding your real IP address and encrypting what you are doing online.

Not sure which VPN to use or how to set it up? Contact me and I’ll show you simple, practical options that fit your needs and comfort level.
