Issue:

 

User wants to remote into a user's laptop to troubleshoot a WWAN issue but the WWAN doesn't want to stay connected. WiFi will work to remote in and when we do the command netsh mbn show interface it has good signal but the connection is very slow.

 

How do I test how fast the WWAN connection is while I'm remoted into the unit on WiFi?

 

Answer:

 

If you open command prompt or powershell you can run this command to test downloading a 100MB file from Google Cloud servers

 

curl.exe --interface <WWAN IP> -o nul http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/100MB.zip

 

Just replace the <WWAN IP> with the IP address from the WWAN. You can get that by first doing ipconfig and it will show the IPv4 address for Mobile Broadband Network.
