| test router speed
I want to compare the performance of two routers I have.
Is there a way to test their throughput, or other specs?
I've got a PC and a laptop on the LAN, so I so I could send files from one to the other, but is there a way to automate and measure this? Using an external "speed test" site will introduce Internet randomness, and besides my Internet connection is not blazing fast at the best of times. |

Won't that only test the throughput of the integrated ethernet switch? -- So put me on a highway, and show me a sign. And take it to the limit one more time... |
