Ookla speed test server selection

[Cradlepoint01]

Hi, the Cradlepoint speed test use the Ookla servers randomly, that mean the speed test aren't consistent, can't be used for tests. For a true speed test you need to use the same server for each time. Is it possible to choose Ookla server as in web or mobile interface with this app?
Kind regards

It used to be possible so simply specify an Ookla server ID and test to it. That seems to have changed in the last couple years. Now Ookla will discover a list of "nearby" servers (I think a list of 10). You can specify a server ID of one of those servers to test to. However, you cannot use a known server ID that does not come back in that list. That list changes by location, and is not always consistent from one test to another. I recommend using the python console inside your IDE to step through the speedtest commands and look at the values of the speedtest object, specificially the servers list.

Thank you for the idea. I'm looking an application to be used for anybody not for somebody with programing skils. Do you have an idea if there is any app to do that?Br  On Friday, February 2, 2024 at 05:57:27 PM GMT+2, Alex Terrell ***@***.***> wrote: It used to be possible so simply specify an Ookla server ID and test to it.
