I’ve had great success using a linux host running iperf, and using an appropriate client app. There is jperf which has a graphical interface for windows, as well as clients available for android and apple IOS.
I prefer using jperf internally as it helps to separate a WAP or RF issue from internet congestion.

It's HTML5, supports mobile, and IPv6, and multiple streams. We have an Ookla NetGauge server hosted here for the very purpose of internal performance testing. We've reached out to the guys at DSLreports.com and we may stand up one of their servers to replace NetGauge somewhere down the line. Obviously, both want them to be publicly available, though we've not had as much traffic to our Ookla server as we anticipated but that may be a bigger issue for folks in a more densely populated area. --Britton Britton Anderson<mailto:[email protected]> | Senior Network Communications Specialist | University of Alaska<http://www.alaska.edu/oit> | 907.450.8250 On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 11:27 AM, Jim Florwick (jiflorwi) <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: There’s this too… http://www.tecmint.com/speedtest-mini-server-to-test-bandwidth-speed Jim Florwick Platform TME From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Kevin Grover <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Friday, August 26, 2016 at 1:21 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Internal bandwidth testing applications Try http://openspeedtest.com/ Kevin Grover Manager IT Networking Team Utah State University 435-797-2401<tel:435-797-2401> From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of "Cosgrove, John" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Friday, August 26, 2016 at 11:11 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Internal bandwidth testing applications There is an android Ap for speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net>. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zwanoo.android.speedtest May help you with some mobile divices.

From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Voelker, Andy Sent: Friday, August 26, 2016 11:38 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Internal bandwidth testing applications We’ve been using the speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net> mini app to test on-campus bandwidth. This helps troubleshoot wifi issues when people claim they aren’t getting the speed they want. It eliminates the variable of internet congestions and bandwidth management that we would get from just going to speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net>. It is also user friendly, so the help desk can send them a link and ask them to run it. However, it is flash based which means it doesn’t work on mobile. Also, ours just expired again (it does that every few months) and there doesn’t seem to be an update. Good time to look for another tool. Does anyone know of one we could host in our datacenter, that is user friendly, and that doesn’t require flash or java?
