• with the less established wan connections possible
• with wi-fi turned off on both bands (rc wlan stop)
• samba file sharing disabled (rc smb stop)
• ftp server disabled (rc ftpd stop)

and in general as much as possible services disabled to free the most available internal resources to avoid test result perturbations.
