Wireless throughput test

[Son_Nguyen2]

Hi community,

Could anyone let me know how to test the throughput of an Access point at a specific location.
I know that it depends on the signal strength but can not find the way to test it.

Thank in advance.

Hi Gareth,
we have C5210 with v.10.41.10.014 and APs 38xx/39xx with same version, but we don't have iperf inside APs:

/usr/bin
M90# ls
dbclient dropbearkey iked pmap rpcapd sftp-server vmstat
dropbear dropbearmulti ntpclient ps2 scp utcpdump

M90# iperf3
-sh: iperf3: not found

Any Idea??

Thanks a lot

Yep, there are various tools out there to do these tests. Easiest (free-est) is setting up an iPerf test environment. Too much detail to go into here though to describe the setup.

If used iperf in the past for such tests....
