I run an AiMesh network with three RT-BE92U units, all on 3006.102.6, and would like to monitor the connection speed between the nodes, ideally in an automated fashion, so that poorly performing nodes can be restarted automatically. I was therefore pleased to learn that /usr/bin/iperf3 is...

Any new insights on this, @jksmurf? I'm also wondering how I can reliably restart an AIMesh system with three RT-BE92U devices running Merlin. The RT-BE92U is a very unreliable device, so I'd like to be able to reset it to a defined state every other day. Configuring a scheduled restart on the...

😂 Good idea, I hadn't thought about praying yet. The RT-BE92U is really a capricious beast. I am still hoping that ASUS will eventually manage to have it tamed.

Thank you, also for pointing me to `iperf`which I should be able to make do with. OpenSpeedTest runs on my GL.inet Spitz AX and Flint 2 routers, so I probably took it for granted that it ought to run on my RT-BE92U units, too.

Yes, thank you, I have seen the Addon Software catalogue, but I wasn't able to spot a speed test server like https://openspeedtest.com in there, what could have been an oversight on my part. And I'd also like to know whether it is considered good or bad practice to install add-ons to AIMesh...

Is there an add-on that implements a speed test server like https://openspeedtest.com/, and could this also be installed on AIMesh nodes? I think that might be very helpful for checking the connectivity and throughput of the entire AIMesh system and its internal links.

And I even didn't need to remove and readd the AiMesh nodes; rebooting them after enabling SSH on the master made them pick up the change and enable SSH, too. 👍 (I am talking about three ASUS RT-BE92U units on Merlin 3006.102.5, with the AiMesh master operating in AP mode.)
