03:26 Amazon Cloud Cam

14:50 Network Performance Testing
How fast is your router? How slow is the WiFI in that corner of the house? John tweeted out, “in episode 146 you talked about network speed tests (not internet). What software do you use for this?” We talk about iPerf, which has clients for just about everything, and an easy to run Windows version, Network Performance Test, in the video!
