Guys, I have found some great tool to test your internet connection. Not speed, but router/connection capability.http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?httpsok=0If your connection is graded A or B it is great and you can run your node and Desktop App for validation.
If it's graded below, maybe you are on wifi, try lan cable, if it still sucks, you MUST use Web App for validation.
A great tool I am graded b here have bookmarked this and will use it hours before the validation, I thought I failed on last night validation I waited for hours for the validation results, I have to get a sleep and wait the next day and got up with a perfect validation and still have a 100% grade.
