Multimeters measure the electric current and voltage of wires in your walls. But existing voltage doesn’t always mean that your Cable Internet is active on that coax wiring or outlet. Voltage detection is not always the most reliable way to know if your Internet set up is strong and successful and may get false readings.
But don’t worry. There is an easy way to test your coax wiring and outlets are receiving an Internet signal from your Cable Internet provider.
The tool you want is Hitron’s coax cable tester which is the only tool that can detect broadband signals from Cable Internet providers. Let’s get into the details of how it works.
