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?

Run a Speedtest, preferably with an app on your PC, not a browser.

 

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.
