A broadband or high speed connection is recommended. The System Check evaluates your internet connection and may report latency (slowness). Latency can be caused by several factors including:

• The type of connection used to connect (dial-up, broadband, DSL, fiber optic, wireless)
• The network and settings used to connect.
• Delivery or latency issues originating with your internet service provider (ISP).
• Hardware and software issues on the device.

Resolving latency may require working with your ISP, network administrator, or device manufacturer.
