Speedtest | ||
========= | ||
|
||
The Speedtest tool is a widely used application for measuring the speed and performance of an internet connection. | ||
It provides users with detailed information about their download and upload speeds, as well as their ping and jitter. | ||
This tool is essential for diagnosing network issues, verifying service provider claims, and ensuring optimal performance for various online activities. | ||
|
||
In NethSecurity the Speedtest tool is available as a built-in feature accessible only from the command line. | ||
|
||
Usage | ||
===== | ||
|
||
Since the test can be influenced by QoS settings, it is better to disable it before running the test: :: | ||
|
||
/etc/init.d/qosify stop | ||
|
||
Speedtest automatically selects the best server based on the user's location. | ||
To run a speed test, simply type the following command in the terminal: :: | ||
|
||
speedtest | ||
|
||
This command will perform a full test, including latency, download, and upload speed tests. | ||
The selection of the server is based on the user's location and the server's availability. | ||
Sometimes, the server selection may not be optimal, resulting in inaccurate speed test results. | ||
|
||
To overcome this issue, users can force the selection of the server by using the ``--force-by-latency-test`` option: :: | ||
|
||
speedtest --force-by-latency-test | ||
|
||
|
||
Remember to re-enable QoS after running the test: :: | ||
|
||
/etc/init.d/qosify start | ||
MultiWAN | ||
======== | ||
|
||
The speedtest tool randomly selects a server to perform the test. | ||
In a MultiWAN environment, the server selection can be influenced by the WAN interface used to reach the server. | ||
|
||
It is possible to force the selection of the WAN interface using mwan3 wrapper. | ||
|
||
Given a WAN device named ``wan1``, the following command will run the speedtest using the selected interface: :: | ||
|
||
mwan3 use wan1 speedtest --force-by-latency-test | ||
