Troubleshooting slowness or connection issues in Right Networks

1. Open Google Chrome or access the Google web browser by searching for google.com on your default browser.
2. In the Google Search Bar, type out "speed test" and hit enter on your keyboard.
   
3. Before your search results, you should see an Internet speed test utility. Click Run Speed Test at the bottom right of the utility.
   
4. After the utility finishes running, it will display your results.

If your internet service provider has a speed test of their own that you prefer, you can run that instead.

1. On your keyboard press the Windows + R keys at the same time.
2. In the Run window, type "CMD" then click OK.
3. Paste this command into the CMD window then hit enter on your keyboard:
   • ping asp.rightnetworks.com -t
4. CMD will begin posting 'Reply from' messages followed by some information. This is normal.
   • If you don't see it posting these replies you can close CMD using the X button, then repeat steps 1-3.
5. Wait 5 minutes, then press CTRL + C on your keyboard at the same time to end the process.
   • During the 5 minute period if you see any messages that say Request timed out, that's a symptom of packet loss and can cause slowness in Right Networks. These issues are best resolved by your internet service provider or an IT professional.
   • If you see a big spike above 150 in the time=###ms column, that can also cause slowness and you should contact your internet service provider or an IT professional.
     
6. After completing step 5, you should see a Ping Statistics message appear that will show a summary of your ping test. This information can be helpful for your ISP or IT, so don't close out of CMD until you've recorded the results.

1. Log off or minimize your Right Networks Remote Desktop.
2. Click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner of your local computer.
3. Type "powershell" then click on the Windows PowerShell app.
4. Paste this command into the Windows PowerShell window:
   • Ping.exe -t asp.rightnetworks.com | ForEach {"{0} - {1}" -f (Get-Date),$_} | Tee C:\temp\ping.txt
5. Minimize the Windows PowerShell window.
6. Open or resume your Right Networks hosted session.
7. When you notice any performance issues, bring up the Windows PowerShell window and look for either a big spike in time=###ms column or Request Timed Out.
8. Once you've gathered the results, click X to close out of the window.
   • A log of the Windows PowerShell session will be saved to C:\temp\ping.txt. Share this with your IT support explaining that you are experiencing slowness when you see a spike in the time column or Request Timed Out.

1. On your keyboard, press the Windows + R keys at the same time.
2. In the Run window, type "CMD" and click OK.
3. Paste this command into the CMD window then hit enter on your keyboard:
   • tracert asp.rightnetworks.com
4. You should see a prompt that says Tracing route to asp.rightnetworks.com over a maximum of 30 hops.
   • This test shouldn't take more than 3 minutes to complete and will stop running automatically when it's finished.
   • Don't press anything while the test is running.
5. When the test completes, it'll display a Trace complete message and show your results.
   • This test can help determine where packet losses are, which can narrow down the cause of your latency.
   • This data should be forwarded to your IT professional or internet service provider.
