Armbian Linux auto tests Wi-Fi so you don’t have to

[igorpecovnik]

If you’ve ever set up a single-board computer (SBC) or PC / Laptop / router and thought, why the Wi-Fi feels … slow, you’re not alone. Wi-Fi performance can vary wildly from one board to another, and it’s not always easy to know what to expect. That’s why we are now taking a smarter, more automated approach to wireless testing.

Rather than relying on random user feedback, Armbian now runs consistent, repeatable Wi-Fi tests across many supported devices. The goal? Make sure things like downloads, uploads, and overall wireless stability are actually doing what they’re supposed to.

These tests happen automatically, using simple tools behind the scenes to measure speed and reliability. It’s not flashy, but it’s incredibly useful. Developers can catch bugs early, users get better performance, and everyone benefits from a more reliable out-of-the-box experience.
