Hey everyone, Is there a standard, easy-to-use tool for this? I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows desktop wired to the main router. Thanks!
There’s a gold standard for this— iPerf3. Launch it iperf3 -siperf3 -c [IP_ADDRESS_OF_WINDOWS_PC]
@NoSignal_NoLife I looked at iPerf3, but frankly, the command line is a bit intimidating. Plus, I’ve read that configuring binaries and the firewall on Windows can sometimes be a daunting task. Is there something similar, but with a simple graphical user interface?
If you want the simplest possible GUI that uses iPerf under the hood, just get NetSpot. It tests your network just like the original iPerf, but displays everything in the form of a clear graph showing download and upload speeds. Your internet provider is completely uninvolved.
@Repulsive_Trade303 Wow, I didn’t know NetSpot could do that! I thought it was just for drawing signal maps. I’ll download it this evening; it looks a lot easier than fiddling with the console and typing in commands. Thanks!
