Using Tech Ready to Check if Your Device is AU Ready

Overview

asbury.techready.io allows you to test the speed of your network connection; it will also check for many other things that could impact your computer. Not ALL of the items matter to everyone. The website was set up for testing all student, faculty, and staff computers.

Feel free to use it any time you feel like your bandwidth is becoming a problem. If you know you should be getting 20Mb download speed and you are only getting 1Mb download in the test, then you will want to make sure that someone else in the house isn’t using up all of the bandwidth (ex. streaming movies). And, if nobody else is using up the bandwidth, then you will need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP)to report the problem.

If you run the test and have any concerns or questions, you can send the results to IT Services to review it for you.

How to Run a Tech Ready Test

1. Open a browser and make sure you are connect to the internet and ready to run the test - it should only take 1-2 minutes to complete.

2. Type, copy, or click this link https://asbury.techready.io

3. Click "Begin Test"

4. The progress bar will change when the test is complete.

How to Read the Test Results and When to Contact I.T. Services

1. The first data you will see is an overview of your download, upload, and ping rates. In addition, there will be an overall "pass"/"fail" bar. You do not need to get a 100% to pass or have a perfectly useable system!

2. Next, you will see your device system information. You will "fail" the test if your browser is not up to date, if Java is not installed, etc. Do not be concerned if you do not have Java installed, or a PDF viewer installed (if you don't need one). Things you do want to pass: having a reputable browser installed (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), and that browser being up to date.

3. The second box contains security information. Again, this will fail if your browser is not up to date, keeping your browser up to date is a necessary component to your computer's security. However, there are other items like Flash that are being phased out of use world-wide. If Flash is not up to date or is not installed, you can ignore that "fail."
