Prepare test steps:

Install iperf3 and openspeedtest server :

• Install iperf3 on Ethernet Server and Wireless Client.
• Download iperf3 from:  https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php  (For Windows OS, download Iperf3-3.1.3-win64).
• Install openspeedtest server on LAPTOP_1. You can download it from:  https://openspeedtest.com/speed-testing-application-for-your-website.php .

Iperf3 Installation:

• Extract the iperf3 zip file and copy cygwin1.dll and iperf3.exe to C:\Windows\System32 so that you can use the iperf3 command without specifying the path.

Openspeedtest Installation:

• Download OpenSpeedTest-Server 2.x.x.exe for Windows X86-64 on Ethernet Server.
• Execute the downloaded file, and the server will start automatically without the need for additional settings.

Test steps:

IPERF

     C:\> iperf -c 192.168.100.100 -P 10 -t 10 -i 1
The attached parameter means the client will connect to the server IP 192.168.100.100 and test for 10 seconds with 10 parallels per second

OPENSPEEDTEST

Open chrome browser on LATOP2 and type the IP address show on the server site



Then you can click start to do the test.
