    Hi,

    When I enable the Up/Download test under a survey, it takes a very long time to ‘time out’ if the internet connection is not working.

    Improvements for this feature:

    1: Ping test destination before trying to measure up/down!
    A simple ping test should tell it there is a valid connection, that can be measured.

    2: Ability to cancel the Up/Down test.
    In case the test is started, and it takes forever, it would be nice to be able to cancel it. That should be reflected in the survey, somehow.
    Currently, if the internet connection is broken or very bad, each test takes 3-4 minutes(!)
    Surveying a hotel with 3-500 rooms will then take days.. :-/

    3: Better indication while testing.
    The current indication simply switch from blue to red and no progress indication is shown..
    Could the test-point show something like:

    C (Connecting)
    D (Downloading)
    U (Uploading)

    App used: NetSpot Reporter 2.1.467 (App Store)
    OS X: 10.9.3

    Hi Marook, it seems that you will need to wait a bit, we are currently working on iperf integration, and this will be a huge update to NetSpot’s speed testing features. All the issues you mentioned here will be definitely addressed.
