Wifi bandwidth measurement

Post by throughwalls »

I would like to be able to download a fake 10MB (or whatever) file from my router to measure the speed of my wifi link. (Not I do not have USB)

Is there any Gargoyle router specific URL which will give me (for example) a file containing the firmware image? Or something else which is big?

Note that I am not interested in my internet connection speed. Only something to measure from the router to my client.

For download tests I just download an image of Ubuntu which you can get over at ubuntu.com.

After you download it your will have a large file. Then to test your upload I recommend http://www.toledorocket.com/perftest/up ... select.asp and just use the Ubuntu image you just downloaded.

This is an other (Dutch) site where you can download a 1000 MB bin file. The direct download link:
