Why didn't my router answer the connection test?

Lesson 10 of 10 in Your Wi-Fi And Router

Some routers ignore the test on purpose. It's not a problem, it just means Vigil can't measure your connection quality.

Why It Matters

This one isn't a safety problem. Some routers are set to ignore this kind of test, which can be a good thing.

What To Do

  1. There's nothing you need to fix.
  2. If your internet feels slow, try the tips in the slow Wi-Fi lesson instead.
