Hi all
I don't know if this is an accurate way to test wifi speed but this is what I just tried ....
how-to-test-wifi-speed/
files needed from a link above
on my mac I downloaded the mac version for both the connected desktop and macbook pro
I extracted the folder, remamed the folder to ipref, and moved it to /Users/my user name/iperf...... on both my desktop and laptop
then on the desktop (connected wired to my lan) in terminal ran
./iperf -s -u -i1
on the laptop I ran in terminal (connected wifi) i ran
./iperf -c (ip of desktop) -u -i1 -l 1300 -b 99999m -t 600
like ./iperf -c 172.168.0.10 -u -i1 -l 1300 -b 99999m -t 600
in the same room with the router and laptop
I ended up with ~80's-90's on 2.4
and ~224 with 5G
it shows on the desktop not the laptop under bandwidth.
I don't know if this is any accurate way or not maybe someone can chime in
I tried wired directly and it reads 95.2 steady?? (I don't think this test will work for wired or settings need to be changed)
also the numbers do go down as I move my laptop through the house on wifi
