⏬Speedtest.net CLI Client

WLAN Pi currently ships with the unofficial open source speedtest-cli tool.

We have the ability to perform a speedtest from the terminal. This offers identical functionality to the Speedtest CLI tool.

This tool is ideal for bandwidth limiting verification and general internet speed testing.

speedtest-cli --secure

speedtest-cli --secure output

The process

1. Invoked from the terminal, the Speedtest client runs on the WLAN Pi

2. Contacts the Ookla speedtest server network

3. Performs a lookup for nearby servers

4. The most appropriate server is selected, based primarily upon latency

5. A Speedtest is then performed, upload and download

6. The client is trying to saturate your connection, that is the goal!
