5.10.5Speed Test

Selecting System > Speed Test allows you to test the connection speed to and from any reachable IP address on current network on the page as shown in Figure 5-32.The speed test is especially used when you are building wireless network between devices which are far away from each other. It should be used for the preliminary throughput estimation between two network devices. The estimation is rough. You can input the remote device's administrator Username and Password under Advance options to get a precise estimation if the remote device is TL-WA5210Gtoo.
