Lan Testers - What do they test?

Hey Guys

So we had a flatmate recently move in and I gave him the wifi password as well as told him for best results he can use the Lan Jackpoint

anyway he told me that he just ended up using the wifi for his laptop he said he was having issues with the LAN. I am kinda curious as I installed the CAT 6 cable and jackpoint myself. I haven't got a long enough ethernet cable to test it myself so I just used my LAN Tester and it's passing so I don't see what the issue could be I tested it with a actual computer after I installed it and it was getting good speeds. I know the issue could be something to do with his PC. My question is how reliable are the testers? if it passes a test I suppose that doesn't mean that their could be a intermittent fault with the cable? I kinda want to ask him to connect his laptop with the cable again and run a speed test or something so I can see for myself what the issue he had was....

Thanks
