This utilizes iperf to test the speed between two Ubiquiti devices.
SSH into first device and start iperf server on one device
iperf -s
SSH into the second device and run the following command to start the speedtest. Change the ip address to the iperf server ip.
iperf -c 192.168.1.20 -P5
The “-P” Option sets the thread count to 5. It makes the test a little bit more realistic.
Example:
