iPerf 3 Wifi Speed Test

I run an iPerf server on a NAS and on a tiny linux server, both wired, and this tool makes it dead easy to check Wi-Fi performance on different APs and in different rooms. The only additional feature I’d like would be to have a list of multiple servers that I could choose from, instead of needing to remember and type them in when I want to change servers.

I installed iperf3 on a home based Mac-mini server earlier today, connected via a Thunderbolt Gigabit (Ethernet) adapter, then left iperf3 running there in server mode... Later running this client app on an iPad has worked great to test the Wi-Fi in different areas, aside from whatever speeds your ISP may be providing. Thanks for this simple but very useful utility!

This is how the utility app of its class should look like: simple design, no gradients/chrome/animation/ads/pop up buttons/achievements/etc. It is called iPerf. It does provide interface to iPerf. It’s stable like an iceberg and highly efficient. User interface is minimalistic: sufficient to get the job done. Nothing superfluous. “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry And it’s free. I’d happily pay for it, but it seems there is no way to.
