BandwithTestPage - A simple CGI script for testing the instantaneous bandwidth to the wireless router. Just drop into /www/cgi-bin and chmod+x.
Where i can get this ? i really needed
the link http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Customizing/ , not work
Somebody can help me

This is what I use:
Which is completely unrelated to what yamilselman wants and needs.
He/she needs to test throughput to the router only. As far as I understand it... 
I should have read the entire post. Sorry about the useless link.

All the website bandwidth speedtests out there sucks.
Use a download manager and download e.g. a ISO image from more than one source. That's the right way test the bandwidth...
I would suggest using iperf to test your bandwidth.
Hello Yamil
try this
#!/bin/ash
echo "Content-Type: Application/octet-stream"
echo "Content-Length: 10485760"
echo
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=10240HTH

what exactly do that ?
i need A simple CGI script for testing bandwidth , i want to install into the routher
Thanks.
it does write out 10MB of zeros. If you use it in your browser you can save the output to file and the browser should display the download speed.
Save the script as test.sh in /www/cgi-bin
chmod 755 /www/cgi-bin/test.sh
then retrieve http://your-router-ip/cgi-bin/test.sh in your browser.

I think that he want's to test his wan connection using the router. So he can be sure that it isn't spyware or the lan segments which causes a slow connection.

If this is the case, just use wget.

For local tests, your script using dd and /dev/zero is good, but /dev/random would be a better source, to avoid any intermediate attempts at compression or other optimization. (Yes, well, that would produce garbage in the receiving end's browser, but still, it's a better test!)

My first try was using /dev/random, but it's really slow. And after 50-100 KiB of data you recieve an EOF. So i decided to use /dev/zero.
Good point - you want a data source that's at least as fast as the network! (EOF = very slow data source) :-)
The discussion might have continued from here.
