  1. Based on how the Beta seems to function, I would think it would be a prime opportunity to add a "dual" test, which simultaneously runs both upload and download. This would be nice for testing in enterprises that have their own data-centers and host VPN/Web/etc. traffic, as they can find out what types of bandwidth carving they should do. I.e., if my Buckeye 1-gig fiber supports a full-duplex 1-gig, then I don't have to worry as much about having a good upload speed when someone else is using my network. But if it's a half-duplex 1-gig, then it changes how I might want to carve out bandwidth. Just a thought, would be an interesting metric to add. Could be a purple double-arrow in the results that indicates the combined speed as well, since it's not a pure upload/download, but a "dual" / "simultaneous" / "mixed" test.

  2. Ahhhh, I see. I can definitely work that in there. Great idea... super slick. I'll add that, need to also add pagination (for when you have many projects listed). Added search functionality last night, pretty cool predictive search. Where pulls and displays the search results while you're typing. First time I've done that, it's really nice. After those elements are complete I'll reset it's databases and put it through real-world testing. After I've tested some more I'll get it out to you. Might be the fastest turn around I've done for a request, ever. And this isn't some small thing, I've been working solid on it since Wednesday. The main controller for this part of the program is currently 44 kB and then hooks had to be created across the rest of the program to make it play with everything. Probably another 30 kB. So I estimate about 74,000 characters. And that's employing my goal of writing as little code as possible to get the same thing done. ... I'm not just slapping crap together, you'll see. I wrote it and I'm not sure how because it's been less than a week (not even 5 days yet actually). And I didn't touch the keys until day 2, lol. --- seriously, funny thing is I don't feel like I've done anything. It built itself. Very useful functionality, as it's coming together I can see how it will benefit many more use cases. Can't wait to share it with you.

  3. The difference in download speeds between a laptop and a PC can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, hardware disparities play a crucial role. PCs often have more powerful processors and network cards, allowing for faster data retrieval. Additionally, laptops may have limitations due to their compact size, leading to smaller antennas and reduced signal strength, especially in older or budget models. Software can also affect download speeds. Background processes, applications, or bloatware running on laptops can consume bandwidth, slowing down downloads. PC users have more control over their system's resources, enabling them to optimize for faster downloads.

  4. Wonder if it could be done pre-test then, similar to how HBO Max and such let me use my phone to scan a QR code to attach the TV/device to my account. 1. Open TMN on target computer 2. Click "I have a project under another account" 3. Page opens QR Code 4. Open TMN on phone authenticated to my account 5. Open camera and scan QR Code from #3 6. Add target computer to account for 24 hours (simple cookie with the info would suffice) 7. Run tests from target computer Just spitballing ideas, would make it pretty painless to use this way and sticks pretty much to your original plan.

  5. You can't add tests that have already been performed. This works by creating side databases and then querying the new data stored. You would create a project (just enter a name), it then generates a URL (a simple 5 character key). After you visit the URL on the client machine it instructs TMN to additionally store the results in the project's side database. You'd then run your tests, going from area to area... giving each unique sub ID's. Along the way from the My Project screen you'll see the number of results and averages for each sub-project. You can then query each database individually. After the system sees that 2 or more sub-project databases have results for a given project it will then display the option to aggregate the databases together for you on the fly. From that you can see all of the results and differentiate between each of your sub-projects results. You can then click 'export' and dump all the results to CSV, again aggregated with all of the data included to help you differentiate the results. I think this will be especially helpful for your use case but home users can benefit as well. Being able to go from room to room and quickly switch the project to help build a map of possible weak areas. It's like identifiers on a much deeper level... and then the identifiers can be used on top of this if that helps some people. Great idea dude, I can't wait for you to put it to use. I don't know how useful QR codes will really be... but I'm having fun.

  6. Sweet! Any way it can be setup to work in reverse? I.e. allow me to be on a desktop / laptop computer at a client site and scan it with my phone to add the test(s) to the project?
