spdMerlin spdMerlin - Automated speedtests with graphs

[Jack Yaz]

sorry if this is off-topic, is there a command to toggle the automatic speed test without opening spdmerlin? I'm trying to create an ssh shortcut.

Make sure you pull down the minor update I published last night, then try using the automatic option, i.e.

spdmerlin automatic

To toggle the tests

Hey @Jack Yaz, could you please add in a future update graphs retain view settings as in connmon? Thank you!

sure thing, I don't want to be rude and go off-topic with my shortcuts in this thread, so I wrote them in my original thread;

Hi,

I have just installed this on my RT-AC86U router and I am getting the following error message. Looking at this tread I see others also get this but I could not see a fix. Any help is well appreciated

Try

opkg update

and try again

Thank you very much - all works now

Try

opkg update
opkg upgrade

and try again

Given that my new house has 350mbps downstream, unfortunately I have had to remove spdmerlin due to intermittent router crashes. Sadly the python script uses too much ram for the router to cope with.

 

[lazmo88]

@Jack Yaz, great work with the script.

I wonder if there's known compatibility issues with the AC87U running latest Merlin? For some reason I can't see charts from manual or automatic speed tests.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

v2.0.1
Updated 2019-09-29

This script uses a large amount of RAM/memory when the speedtest is running, and as such a swap file is required

The speedtest is scheduled to run at 12 past and 42 past the hour, every hour, by default

Regarding speeds not necessarily matching browser-based tests, please see https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli#inconsistency

Run automated speedtests for your Internet on your router with graphs available on the Tools page of the WebUI.

Hello,

How do I configure spdmerlin to test against the vpn server I'm connected to, and NOT the local servers geographically nearest to me?
Thanks to all.

 

[xulian]

Hello, I'm playing with 2.0.1 and comparing results using same server with speedtest site. Download might have similar results (around 300 mbits/sg) but upload keeps getting below 40 mbits/sg. I'm getting the expected values at speedtest (around 300 mbits/sg)
any clue about the problem?



thanks

 

[emax.b]

same here . RT-AC86U with last official Merlin

Hello - installed on 68u. Works fine from commandline but graphs are empty. Waited 24 hours but still no detain graphs under tools -> speediest page. Is there a log file of all the tests that tool ran in last 24 hours, that could be checked?

have you checked if the automated speed tests are enabled?

 

[Gopal Gandham]

have you checked if the automated speed tests are enabled?

Here is what I see when i run spdMerlin script.
oggle automatic tests

Currently Enabled
and if i run speediest now.. it works and the data is shown below
Choose an option: 1


spdMerlin: Starting speedtest using auto-selected server in multi-connection mode


spdMerlin: Speedtest results - Download: 162.90 Mbit/s - Upload: 20.46 Mbit/s

Also the menu for auto test shown below
8. Configure schedule for automatic tests

No defined schedule - tests run every hour

Tests will run at 12 and 42 past the hour
