I'm with Kitsap on the app, just about the only use for it.
I also make regular use of the Speedtest "app" for Windows.
Speedtest for Windows: Internet speed test for Windows
That avoids imposing anything between the router and the test site.

The Nighthawk app will test the speed between the router and the Internet.
Do not, whatever you do, make any tests using wifi. They will never get anywhere gear 1 GBps with that router which is, to be frank, pretty basic. Released in 2018, it is based on a box first shipped in 2014.
