I know there are a lot of ways to test the speed from the router to WAN, through special websites or via a Merlin plugin.
But why isn't there a simple way to test the local speed (from the router to the client)?
For example, Merlin could serve a dummy-file of several GB that you can download from the admin-page. This file doesn't really need to exist on the filesystem, it can just be created in memory on the fly and filled with random data as you go.
Is there already a functionality like that, and if not, why not?
