Hi everybody,
I would like to measure the transfer speed (download and upload) between my WRT54GS router and my PC. To be clearer, I am not interesting in measuring the speed between 2 PC connected to the WiFi router but only in the router PC link speed.
First of all, I used the TFTP method :
1/ I did a "ssh" on my router and saw (top) that there were 15 Mo left in the router memory => I thought of putting/getting a 15 Mo file and see the inbound/outbound traffic on the router WiFi interface using a traffic analyser.2/ To do so, I downloaded the SolarWind TFTP server and installed it on my PC. I forwarded the port 69 (tftp) from the router.
3/ Then, I connected with "ssh" on the router and got the file from the PC using "tftp" command.4/ Then, I put the same file on my computer from the router (tftp)
=> It worked fine but the transfer was very very slow. The file should have been written immediately but it took approximately 45 seconds. I suppose this is due to the fact the router memory is a Flash memory so it is longer to write to.
Does anyone has another idea to measure the WRT54GS router PC link speed ?
Thanks in advance.
