I'm wanting to get a decent idea of the speed on my home LAN - both through my TP Link 1200Mbps powerline adapters as well as via WiFi at various positions in the house.
I've downloaded a small utility called LAN Speed Test for my PC but am not 100% sure of what I should be setting it to to get an accurate idea of the transfer rate?
There is a "Folder or server IP" address bar where I can select a location on the LAN but I'm not sure exactly where I should be selecting!?!?
Should I be selecting a location on the PC in the top room (ie. it measures from the router in the living room to the PC) or should I be selecting my NAS for example which is connected to the router by ethernet (ie. measuring from the router/NAS to the PC itself?)
Also, what size file should I be testing with or will the results be roughly level across the piece??
Thanks for any tips guys...
