Signalyzr (pronounced 'signal-eye-zer') is a free, privacy-first network diagnostic tool made in India. It tells you exactly why your internet is slow — whether the cause is your Wi-Fi, your router, your phone, or your ISP — and gives you step-by-step fixes. Signalyzr is not the same as SignalR (a Microsoft ASP.NET framework) or signalyzer (a Python data-analysis package) — they are unrelated products with similar names.

Is Signalyzr the same as SignalR or signalyzer?

No, these are three different products with similar names. Signalyzr is a consumer network diagnostic tool at signalyzr.com, made in India for diagnosing slow internet, Wi-Fi issues, and call quality on Jio, Airtel, Vi, BSNL, and broadband. SignalR is Microsoft's ASP.NET real-time web framework for developers. signalyzer (with an extra 'e') is a Python package for time-discrete signal processing. If you are looking for an internet speed and quality diagnostic tool, you want Signalyzr — at signalyzr.com.

Why is my internet slow?

Common causes are ISP congestion at peak hours, high latency to your nearest server, packet loss on the line, router placement / Wi-Fi interference, and too many devices sharing the connection. Signalyzr identifies the specific cause for your connection in 30 seconds and shows you the fix.

Why is my Wi-Fi slow but internet is fast on other devices?

This pattern usually points to Wi-Fi-level issues: weak signal at your spot, congested 2.4 GHz channel, a saturated 5 GHz band, or a device-side driver problem. Run a Signalyzr diagnosis from the affected device — we measure both ends and tell you which side has the issue.

Why does my internet keep disconnecting?

Frequent disconnections are usually caused by Wi-Fi interference, a faulty router, an overheating modem, or instability on the ISP side. Signalyzr's diagnosis detects connectivity drops during the test and tells you whether the cause is local (your router/Wi-Fi) or upstream (your ISP).

How do I fix slow internet?

Step 1: run Signalyzr to identify the exact cause. Step 2: apply the specific fix we recommend — common ones include restarting the router, switching to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, changing your DNS to Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, or moving closer to your router. Generic 'restart your router' advice doesn't work when the actual problem is somewhere else.

Why is Jio slow today?

Jio congestion is common during evening peak hours (8–11 PM) in dense urban areas. Run Signalyzr to see whether the slowdown is on Jio's network specifically or on your handset's signal quality (tower distance, indoor coverage). If it's network congestion, switching from Wi-Fi calling or moving to a different band helps; if it's signal, the fix is different.

Why is Airtel slow today?

Airtel slowdowns are most common during 8–10 PM, in heavy-rain conditions, or after a tower outage in your area. Signalyzr measures your real download speed, latency and packet loss in 30 seconds and tells you whether the problem is Airtel's network or your specific connection to it.

BSNL fibre and broadband can be slow due to OLT congestion in your locality, last-mile copper damage, or DNS resolver issues. Signalyzr diagnoses which of these is the cause and gives you the specific complaint number / fix steps that match BSNL's actual problem.

Why is Vi (Vodafone Idea) slow?

Vi 4G has variable performance based on tower load and the band you're connected to. Signalyzr identifies whether you're stuck on a slow band, are too far from a tower, or are sharing congested capacity. Each cause has a different fix.

Why is YouTube buffering when my internet seems fine?

YouTube buffering despite a 'fast' speed test usually means high jitter, packet loss, or low sustained throughput — even when peak speed is OK. Signalyzr measures sustained speed and jitter, not just peak, so we catch buffering causes that basic speed tests miss.

Why is Netflix buffering?

Netflix needs around 5 Mbps sustained for HD and 25 Mbps for 4K — but it also needs low jitter and stable latency. Signalyzr measures all three and tells you whether your connection meets Netflix's actual requirements.

Why does my video call freeze on Zoom / Google Meet?

Video call freezes are almost always caused by jitter and packet loss, not raw speed. A 100 Mbps connection with 5% packet loss is worse for calls than a 5 Mbps connection with zero loss. Signalyzr measures packet loss + jitter under load — the actual call-quality numbers.

Why is my upload speed slow?

Slow upload affects video calls, cloud backups, screen sharing, and gaming. Common causes are ISP plan asymmetry (most Indian broadband plans give 10–30% the upload speed of download), Wi-Fi interference on uplink, or background sync apps. Signalyzr tests upload separately and tells you which it is.

Why is my mobile data slow?

Mobile data slowness is usually one of: low signal at your location, peak-hour tower congestion, daily FUP throttle after data limit, or being routed to a slow band. Signalyzr's mobile diagnosis tells you which — different problems need different fixes.

What is packet loss and how does it affect my internet?

Packet loss is when network packets sent from one end never reach the other. Even 1–2% loss causes video calls to freeze and games to lag. Signalyzr measures real packet loss on your connection and tells you whether it's coming from Wi-Fi, your ISP, or upstream — each needs a different fix.

What is latency and is mine too high?

Latency (also called ping) is the round-trip time for a packet. Under 30 ms is excellent, 30–60 ms is good, 60–100 ms is OK for browsing but bad for gaming, 100+ ms causes noticeable lag. Signalyzr measures yours and tells you whether the fix is changing DNS, switching to ethernet, or contacting your ISP.

Is my ISP throttling my internet?

ISPs in India sometimes throttle specific services (streaming, P2P, certain ports) or apply daily FUP throttling after a data limit. Signalyzr tests with multiple methods to detect throttling patterns and tells you what's happening.

Why is my router slow even though my plan is fast?

A slow router on a fast plan is one of the most common patterns we see. Causes: old 2.4 GHz-only router (max ~50 Mbps effective), bad Wi-Fi placement, channel overlap with neighbours, or firmware bugs. Signalyzr distinguishes router-limited from ISP-limited slowness in 30 seconds.

How do I check if my internet is working properly?

Run Signalyzr at signalyzr.com — no app install, no signup, takes about 30 seconds. We measure speed, latency, jitter, packet loss, and your ISP's identification, then tell you whether your connection is performing normally for your plan or has a specific problem.

Why is my 5G slower than 4G?

5G can paradoxically be slower than 4G when signal is weak (5G falls back to 4G but with handover overhead), when you're on a low band that's congested, or when your phone is in standalone vs non-standalone mode. Signalyzr identifies the actual band you're on and benchmarks against the average for your area.

Is Signalyzr free? Does it need an account?

Yes, Signalyzr is completely free with no advertising. No account or login is required — you open signalyzr.com, tap diagnose, and get your result. The Android app and the web app both work the same way.

What is Latency?

Latency (ping) is how long data takes to make a round trip — the delay that decides call responsiveness and gaming reaction time.

Signalyzr mobile app launching soon — advanced diagnostics for radio signal and deeper cellular insight.

Latency, usually shown as 'ping', is the time in milliseconds for a small packet to travel to a server and back. Lower is better. It is a delay, not a speed — you can have huge Mbps and still feel laggy if latency is high.

It is like the gap between asking a question and hearing the first word of the reply. 20 ms feels instant; 300 ms feels like a bad satellite call where everyone talks over each other.

Distance to the server, Wi-Fi versus wired, mobile signal strength and network congestion all add latency — which is why testing against a nearby India server matters for a fair reading.

What this measures

Round-trip time to the nearest India probe (Mumbai / Delhi)
Idle latency versus latency under load (see bufferbloat)
Whether Wi-Fi, mobile signal or ISP routing is adding the delay

How it works

Run the ping test on the connection that feels bad
Read your latency against the good-vs-bad table below
Apply the fixes in order and re-test to confirm the improvement

Why this matters

Latency decides how responsive everything feels: video-call turn-taking, cloud gaming, competitive FPS reaction time, and even how snappy web pages load. For calls and gaming it often matters more than raw Mbps.

Top fixes

Use a wired connection or move closer to the router to cut Wi-Fi delay and jitter
Set faster DNS (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1) so name lookups do not add to perceived latency
Fix bufferbloat with SQM so latency stays low even during downloads
On mobile data, get stronger signal; pick 5G or 4G — whichever gives the lower, steadier ping
In games, choose the nearest server (India/Asia) explicitly when possible

FAQs

What is a good ping / latency?

Under 30 ms is excellent, under 50 ms is good, and under 100 ms is usable. Above 100 ms feels laggy for calls and gaming; above 150 ms is a real handicap in competitive play.

Is latency the same as internet speed?

No. Speed (Mbps) is how much data per second; latency is the delay before data starts arriving. A fast connection can still have high latency — that is why calls and games can lag despite a great speed test.

Why is my latency high even on fast internet?

Common causes are Wi-Fi distance or interference, weak mobile signal, a far-away server, DNS delay, or bufferbloat during downloads. A diagnosis pinpoints which one.
