Librespeed testing in ASUS Router | LAN Lab

Hi All

I have this device as I state below

Well I could install the package called librespeed-go without any problem :+1:

As you can see the ethernet connection between my pc (192.168.1.113) and the router test lab (192.168.1.1) is 1GBPS

The problem is when I do the speed test with librespeed I got these mismatch results

My big question is:
Why don't I get 1gps(down)/1gps(up)?

Thanks

Your router may[0] be capable to route at 1 GBit/s wirespeed, but it's much less likely to generate packets out of thin air at those speeds. This is commonly the case on normal routers, with highly optimized ethernet/ switch drivers and packet engines accelerating packets passing through the router, while the SOC's CPU itself would not be fast enough to source packets at those speeds.

If you're looking for meaningful speedtest, always test though the router, not on its CPU.

[0] although I'm not that confident in this case either

Thanks for your reply

So there no a GUI way to test speed between 192.168.1.113 - 192.168.1.1
The best way should be iperf3 to get a meaningful speedtest in this example. Right??

There can't be any GUI on the router, as that would always be affected be the inherent issues mentioned above (unless your router is considerably faster than the maximum throughput possible via its network cards, e.g. x86_64).

Measuring iperf3 throughput through the router is indeed is method of choice, there may be GUIs for it or similar GUI based tools.
