Nighthawk r6700v3

I recently updated my Internet to 1G, how do I verify that the speed to my router is 1G and it is working properly?

    Not really a recommended approach. Too many intermediaries can get in the way.

     

    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.
