Measure LAN speeds with iperf3

iperf.fr

iPerf - The TCP, UDP and SCTP network bandwidth measurement tool

iperf3 is installable via scoop and yay. You simply run the server on one computer and point the client at that IP from another computer.

 powershell
    
# On one computer
iperf3 --server
# On another computer
iperf3 --client <ip>

  

You can get your IP address on Linux like this. For Ethernet look under (probably) end0 and for wifi (probably) wlan0.

 powershell
    
ip addr

  

On Windows you can use Get-NetIPAddress.

 powershell
    
# For Ethernet
Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias Ethernet*
# For Wi-Fi
Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias Wi-Fi

  

If you're diligent about firewalling then you'll probably need to open up the port (default is 5201)
