Tim,

Doesn't OpenWRT support iperf3? Why not use that instead of wget?

I think there are a ton of options if I go with an OpenWRT based router. Still not sure if I want to go through the process of developing out own consumer grade routers, but still no one beside Mikrotik seems to have speed test's built into their sub $100 CPEs.

Hi Colton,

This may be too light-weight and manual for you, but in the past I've
supplied a few clients with a decent OpenWrt router. I can then SSH in
and do a wget to my FTP site. It might not be 100% accurate, but it's
good low cost option for me, and enough for my purposes. YMMV.
