Jose Antonio Carmona@josetxu_granadaOne of the doubts when reproducing streaming content is that related to the Internet connection and the appropriate network speed to take advantage of the different resolutions offered by each of the platforms.In the case of Netflix it is also a check that we can carry out without abandoning the application.
In fact, it is Netflix itself that explains on its support page what are the recommended speeds to be able to execute reproduction either in SD, HD or 4K UHD resolution.And if you have doubts or performance problems, you can always take advantage of the tool to control the status of the network and speed without leaving the application.
Without getting out of application
It is an integrated utility in the Netflix application itself, that we can install on phones and televisions that allows you to know the connection speed from the equipment where we are reproducing the content and without leaving the application to use a third -party service.

To know the network speed you just have to enter the Netflix app and once we have accessed any of the profiles that we have assets seek the section "Obtain help".On the phone it is through the hamburger menu (three horizontal stripes) in the lower left area and on televisions or devices with Google TV or Android TV, moving the cursor to the left and also selecting "get help" in the drop -down menu.
If we carry out the test from a TV or a Android TV or Google TV device, such as a Amazon Fire or a Chromecast, Google, just enter "network check" within "get help".
We will see how the network tester starts, executing measurements from different servers.The speed test can take a few more seconds.So we wait for the end and mark the connection speed we have.
In the case of phones, just press in "Internet speed test" within section "About".Then the browser that we have set as predetermined and through Fast we control the connection speed we have.
Remember that Netflix recommends different network speeds.From the 25 Mbps necessary to access 4K UHD streaming, passing through 5 Mbps for high definition (HD), 3 Mbps to opt for the standard definition (SD) and in general a minimum of 0.5 Mbps.
