I was wondering if there was any feature available or in the future that allows you to test the WAN speeds from the router directly.

If you are brave enough to use the cli you can do this.
cd /tmp
wget https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/ookla-speedtest-1.2.0-linux-$(uname -m).tgz
tar -xvzf ookla-speedtest-*.tgz
mv speedtest /usr/bin/
chmod +x /usr/bin/speedtest
speedtest
Just run these commands in order.

ty works great!!
Is there a way to access the CLI from offsite?
Shift + clicking on the router name in the controller should get you to the CLI

Is this possible to put on WAP’s and switches or just the Route 10?
I suspect you could with the WAPs, although they have a weaker CPU than the Route10 so you might have to deal with more limited throughput. The switches I probably wouldn’t due to limited space and very weak CPUs. Technically the router and APs have iperf built into them as well to help with local speed testing

Agree on that. Neither iperf3, nor speedtest, is true to the actual rate that can be achieved over the same line for a wired or WiFi client. I have experimented a little bit and found speeds around 450-650 Mbps, from AP6Pro - S8 - Route10 (- speedtestserver) for speedtest/iperf3, where the nominal line is 1gbps, but as @jmszuch said, the performance for running iperf/speedtest on either of AP or switch is not great.
As a sidenote, for some reason space allocated to /cfg/ is massive on the APs, while it is almost nothing on the S8 switch.
