Having same problem. It is NOT an iOS 14 issue. I tested it on iOS 13.7 after I kept getting the message (even after reboot). This is most likely a bug in the latest router firmware. Not a big deal for me, just a little aggrevating.
- Fritzsche0529Sep 25, 2020ApprenticeI was finally able to speak to a Netgear support rep, Rose. The delay was from my end, not theirs. She performed a factory reset remotely on my router, and I went through the steps to set up a new router. The reset was initiated from within the router web page (I don’t know exactly where on the page the reset was accessible since I was not doing it, but to be clear, it was not via the app). I had reset and unplugged the router multiple times before, but I may not have performed a “factory reset”. After the router had restarted and I finished the installation process, the SpeedTest via the app worked. Considering that the app worked for me previously and then stopped, much like what has happened to most of you who have posted here, I’m cautiously optimistic that this is a permanent fix. But I have to say that Rose was great and I’m back in business...at least for now.

I've had my new system since the 21st after returning the previous one due to a few issues including the Speed test. So far so good, buts only been four days. Last time it went out at day 5

Hi Fritzsche0529,
Thanks for sharing your support experience with our support agent, Rose and the steps to remedy the issue for you. For those still experiencing issues, please perform a factory reset and run through the setup assistant again.
