I have a laptop (with Ubuntu) and a router (with OpenWrt).When I check the version for both, the laptop says I have version 2.05 for multithreads and the router says I have 2.05 for pthreads.Both have an IP address in the same subnet.When I run client commands on the laptop or the router (i e. iperf -c router IP address), I get a connection refused error. If I run server commands (i.e. iperf -s) on either, the iperf header pops up like it's checking the network but then nothing else ever happens and I have to hit ctrl+C to kill the process.Then I tried putting iperf on a second router with OpenWrt and trying the commands between the two routers and the same thing happend.This is my first time using iperf so I am not sure if it just isn't working or if there is a configuration step I am missing. I've tried a couple of different tutorials, but the results are the same above for the different commands.Is there a configuration step that I missed?Is there a specific line I am supposed to write to start iperf on the server and client?If I did everything correctly, could it not be working because one has multithread installed and the other has pthread installed?Does anyone have a good iperf tutorial for first time users?Thanks for any help in advance!
Incorrect iperf configuration?

You have to run the iperf in server mode on one deviceiperf -sand iperf in client mode on the otheriperf -c IPADRESSOFSERVERat the same time.
