      Hey Guys. I read through a bunch of forums to figure out how to get speedtest working. I finally figured out that on firmware 2.4 it would not work at all. I wasted so much time trying so many different things, but when i upgraded to 21.05.1, it worked straight away no problems at all and i didnt have to do any crazy custom setups.

      After i upgraded to 21.05.1, through the GUI, i went to Diagnostics, and then Command Prompt. In "execute shell command" type "pkg search speedtest". It will come up with the current version available, then type "pkg install -y py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3" and execute. Note that if the speedtest version is different than what Ive indicated, just copy in what the netgate said is available.

      to run, type 'speedtest' into cli. This can be done in Diagnostics tab, or through SSH into the netgate using the shell option.

      Hope that help someone.
