Device: Test network speed above 80MiB/s #27

As an admin, I want to tests upload and download speeds accurately so that I can make sure the ISP is providing the service level paid for.

Acceptance criteria

It's done when speeds above a Raspberry Pi's network adapter max speed of 80-100 mbps can be measured (up to 300 mpbs).

Solutions

Use Wifi for tests.
Use gigabit network adapter connected to USB 2.0.
Migrate to a beefier host (Intel NUC).

Moving installation to a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with its pseudo gigabit speeds (limited to shared USB bus speed). Good enough to calculate current ISP speed limits.
