R8000 Firmware
Firmware - V1.0.4.12_10.1.46 I have no idea why itself firmware causing from between 526Mbps - 468Mbps to 17Mbps - 13Mbps... I had to rebooted and seem not good after that... 186Mbps, 168Mbps, 16...
Oh, I forgot to tell you, that what I paid my ISP is 400Mbps D/L and 10Mbps U/L but with weird highest speed you must said because you noticed my result because I push it to max as best I can but upload seem unstable which something we can't do anything about it because I had so many times ISP's tech support come here... Also I using DNSbench too because I don't trust my own ISP's DNS... too poor taste you know? Plus I knew that if I using ISP's DNS without using DNSbench, then I'll get only less than 300Mbps at best time but worst mostly times is less than 250Mbps...

I've used DNSBench many times. Not since Spectrum took over Brighthouse however. I'm going to run it, but I am rebuilding the base now and it can take 1/2 an hour. It had shown either the GOOGLE DNS's or my ISP's (at the time) the fastest DNS's. I do KNOW my ISP has changed the DNS's recently. The router connection data shows this.
However DNS is just the method to translate your Internet site name (like www.speedtest.net) into the octets for its real Internet IP Address (72.21.92.82). That allows you to connect to it. After that, it is out of the circuit. Has nothing to do with Internet speed.
DNSBench will only tell you what the fastest DNS's are, it doesn't run all the time, so you can use it with anything?
I'm very confused here?
