The Network Health feature in the Google Fiber app allows you to easily check your internet connectivity, speed, and coverage. When you run a Network Health test, you’ll get a score for your connection (either excellent, good, or poor), along with troubleshooting tips that you can use to help improve your Wi-Fi network. It can also tell you when you’re impacted by an outage in your neighborhood.
