This utilizes iperf to test the speed between two Ubiquiti devices.<\/p>\n

SSH into first device and start iperf server on one device<\/p>\n

iperf -s<\/pre>\n
SSH into the second device and run the following command to start the speedtest.\u00a0 Change the ip address to the iperf server ip.<\/p>\n
iperf -c 192.168.1.20 -P5<\/pre>\n
The “-P” Option sets the thread count to 5.\u00a0 It makes the test a little bit more realistic.<\/p>\n
