Question

Is there a way for us to login over RMS / CLI to do a speed test of the LTE connection?

Thanks

Hello,

You can connect to the router via CLI and install additional package through OPKG for speedtests, exact commands should be ran in order:

1. opkg update

2. opkg install speedtest-netperf

after the installation you can run:

speedtest-netperf.sh -t 10

And it will speedtest the connection.

Please, keep in mind that this is third party package and it may have its own nuances.

Thanks for the info, however it doesn't look like it's working as I don't get any speeds

I see avarage values of download and upload in your screenshot:

Down: 33.205

Upload: 22.428

Could you run the test a few times and compare results with each other?

Other way would be to use tool speedtest-cli, but it would be a much heavier solution processing and storage-wise as it requires python. To try it execute these commands:

1. opkg update

2. opkg install python

3. opkg install python-pip

4. pip install speedtest-cli

5. speedtest-cli

Your output should be something similar:

root@Teltonika-RUTX09:~# speedtest-cli

Sorry, I was expecting to show something under the Download / Upload field

Thanks for your help

Is there anything like this available for the rut240? It would be incredibly helpful.
