Speed test

Mon Mar 17, 2014 4:04 pm

Is it possible for router os to run an internet speed test every so often, and if the speed drops below a set number send me an email? Would this take too much bandwidth?

If possible only if both source and target for bandwidth test are RouterOS

After 8 years now MikroTik has supported Containers so that it is possible for us to do an ookla speedtest (viewtopic.php?t=193053) and send the test result to email via netwatch.

Even if you want to manually change internet access routes after receiving an email, now you can do it automatically via netwatch.

Better put all speed test sites on blacklist, ony wasted resource, time, power, CO2 produced for no reason.

Is there another way to change internet access routes automatically when the bandwidth on one of the routes is dropping?

Surely if everyone reasoned badly like you, everything would be blocked due to continuous tests that consume bandwidth for nothing.

Surely if everyone reasoned badly like you, everything would be blocked due to continuous tests that consume bandwidth for nothing.
So, how to change internet access routes automatically when the bandwidth on one of the routes is dropping?

I have tried many ways:
1. Recursive route failover? I have tried that but it won't work if the ping is still running even though the bandwidth drops.
2. Loadbalance? What if the connection quality differs between internet access routes? My network users are complaining about poor network quality. One with 30ms ping time while the other 1000ms.
3. Btest? No one is providing free btest servers in my country.

Sorry but I don't think my question has been answered.
