Speedtest validation and modem testing
There are a couple of ways to address the speedtest question:
- You
could add speedtest.net as a managed device

- If
you’re cool with docker you could get speedtest-cli from gists and install
the docker container, failover to cellular, run the ephimeral docker

- Iperf
could be used by dropping into the shell and running iperf commands after
failing the unit over to LTE or making LTE (or whatever other connection you want to test) the primary connection - https://support.zpesystems.com/portal/en/kb/articles/nodegrid-sr-net-ports-performance
For
reporting on cellular you can use this - https://docs.zpesystems.com/docs/wireless-modem-sub-tab?highlight=modem
And
for extension antennas and boosters, as long as it’s the same connection type
it should work.
