How is the internet speed measured?

  • Using a feature on the R6350 router?
  • Using a "speedtest" application on .....  what? (computer? laptop? smartphone?)

The first step most people take is to measure the internet speed without the router.  i.e. temporarily disconnect the router and connect a computer/laptop Ethernet port directly to the ISP device and run a Speed Test.
