Motorola or Netgear Modem WiFi Routers with the Orbi Mesh System
Looking to upgrade Xfinity modem WiFi Router and NightHawk R7000 Router. Will a newer Motorola or Netgear Modem WiFi Router work within an Orbi WiFi Mesh System? Or will the WiFi signals interfere ...

This calls out for an internet search. The first product I found is a command line version of Ookla Speed Test that is available for Linux, Mac, Windows https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli Download the zip file. Extract the executable to a folder and run the program from a command line to display the program options, i.e. in Windows:
speedtest.exe -help
After verifying that it does what you want, create a batch file and some sort of scheduling mechanism to run it as often as desired. For example:
echo off
Echo Speed Test %DATE% %TIME% >>speedrecord.csv
speedtest.exe -fcsv --progress=no >>speedrecord.csv
Then schedule this batch file to run as often as desired. (Hourly?) This will create a csv file with one line for each test that looks like this:
"Nitel - Los Angeles, CA","12191","12.8024","2.8445","0","46223471","1446433","394807566","9823388","https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/646a1005-b522-416a-83ef-ca6602fb043b","1","231.011","70.9965","17.038","455.572","25.005","10.7329","12.644","305.68","10.162","16.987"
Open the csv file with Microsoft Excel or whatever program you like.
Mac and Linux have similar ways to run a program on a schedule and save the results.

That looks like one, of many, speed test I evaluated. However, writing scripts to have it run and record on a set time is above my System Administrator skill level.
Researching speed test, I found what many others had aleardy posted on various sites. That is the Ookla speed test blows away all other speed test by a good margin. Even compared agianst Xfinity's speed test. Many speculated that they are tied in with one or more ISPs or someone else. As there data ouput stands out when compared to most all other speed test applications.
