Solving sporadic/unreliable connectivity problems. Again, this helps when you do VOIP calls, stream audio, etc.ģ. Ensure wifi is running put into higher PM state even when the screen is off. This is desired is many situations, like IP VOIP calls via WIFI, audio streaming, networked games (lower latency means better experience).Ģ.

If the wifi driver does not sleep, the AP does not have to wait until delivering the data.

While certainly, it would drain more power, there are some advantages as well:ġ. In other words, by using the widget, you can effectively disable the Power Management in the WIFI driver of the phone/tablet. The one nice thing about running as UDP is you can see how much loss occurred in transmission.This is a widget to enable/disable WIFI high-performance mode on selected devices. The above tests can also be run as TCP with the -b option. The -i matched with the command runtime and logfile command will only output the results to a text file called test1.txt w -u -b 10M -t 60 -i 60 -R –logfile test1.txt” # runs iPerf with UDP at an attempted 10Mbps for 60 seconds in reverse. Choose the options that you may want to implement to tailor the test to your scenario. The key is to utilize the option -R so that the process is run in reverse as if the wired machine is the server.ģ. This way you can easily initiate multiple iperf sessions without having to get up and touch each device. I highly recommend running the remote devices as servers. Choose which side you would like to have run as the server and the client.

With Mac you could also use homebrew and install via “ brew install iperf3“.įor linux – Just use your friendly package manager: yum/apt/pacman and install your iperf3 package.įor Android – There are many apps available via the Play Store as well as Access Agility’s WiFiPerf endpoint app: ( )įor iOS – There are a few apps available via the app store or once again using WiFiPerf from Access Agility: ( )Ģ.

If you are savvy with Windows 10 you can also install the linux subsystem for windows and then “ apt-get install iperf3“.

Download iperf for your devices.įor Mac and Windows – You can download the application from: . That being said I highly recommend a device with at least a gigabit adapter which can be small and compact like the ODroidC2 (Thanks WLPC!). You never want your server to be the bottleneck on the network unless you have no other choice. To get started using iPerf you have to remember that it operates in a client / server configuration. This is often seen with 30+ clients connecting to an AP and running some sort of performance test. However, this should be based on number of clients + expected SLA. Throughput testing – This format can be used for performance testing mesh links and the unfortunate events where a customer has been sold on marketing “numbers” instead of real world performance.Ĭlient load testing – This is often misconstrued as throughput testing. The two most common scenarios where iPerf fits the bill: This allows you to properly test your environment without relying on someone else’s server to verify that you have adequately designed, deployed, and tuned your environment to support the necessary bandwidth requirements for your users. So that leaves me with this: Learn to use tools that can run locally on your network. This does count out most homelabbers, but I have witnessed a few organizations that ran speed test nodes that, in my opinion, should never have been qualified. Internet speed tests are never a guarantee and always rely on not only your internet bandwidth and availability (which can vary depending on usage and load from others), firewall capability, but most importantly – speed test server availability.īelieve it or not, anyone with a gigabit pipe to the internet, static IP, and the ability to map DNS can be a speed test server node. This is in my opinion a good way to disappoint yourself and all involved. Typically I see people running various internet speed tests to verify performance. This has ranged from “look how much bandwidth I can push through this AP” to just level setting expectations and verification. Over the years of working with customers and other fellow engineers I have run into a number of situations where wired and wireless performance testing was requested.
