If you use an internet speed test, it will only go to the speed of what the subscriber pays for, plus or minus a bit. If you connect a router at the head end and a computer to other ends, right click on the network icon and select 'Status'. It will open a box that shows the connection speed to the router and it shows how many bytes have been sent and received. I would also ping the router's IP address and see if the delays are excessive, how long each ping takes and if any packets were lost.
WE HAVE A WINNER!
I'm going to be on site tomorrow and Monday, and I will definitely do this! Thank you so much for the method. This is beautiful. Thank you!
Edit: uh-oh. Details.
Right click on the network icon where? In Network and sharing center? I don't see one. In Windows Explorer? There's no "Status" there. Somewhere in the router?
This procedure should work with the desktop I'm working on right now but I can't find a network icon that yields "status" as a choice after a right click.
Thanks.
