Slate 7 - Internet Connection Speedtest within the router

Routers
1

All,

Just bought the Slate 7 (GL-BE3600) router and having fun setting it up. Would like to know if there is a build-in speedtest which runs on the router to report internet connection speed. I am referring to the internet data speedtest (Date incoming to the route for uplink and downlink), I am not referring to the Wifi to Device or Lan to Device speedtest.

Thanks!

Hello,

The GL GUI does not have this feature, sorry.

You can install the plugin speedtest to test in the SSH:

opkg update
opkg install python3-speedtest-cli

Run the speedtest:

speedtest

Hi Bruce,

As I explore more with the Slate 7, on the web browser interface, there is a Plug-in section under Application. With search, there is a python3-speedtest-cli application for Install. Should I install that App? Once install, possible to run it in the web brower interface (GUI)? Or I still need to log in via SSH and run the test?

Thanks!

This plugin does not support Web UI (GL GUI or Luci), so it can only be run in SSH to test.

Appreciate your assistance. Thanks Bruce.

Hi Bruce,

I know it is sort of off-topic, but since I have your attention, I would also want to know if there is plug-in that return with VPN server location? For instance, I am in US and using OpenVPN to connect via server in Japan, is there GUI or SSH plugin that allows me to do so.

thanks!

If you want to know what the current exit network location (IP) of the clients if the router enabled the VPN client, you could visit the IP query website in the client's browser.
