    I'd like to test my INTERNAL wireless speeds from one device through the router to another INTERNAL device on my network - NOT internet speeds.

    Any ideas?

    I haven't been able to find anything on Google.

    Thanks!

    Copy a large file to another device and check the speed in taskmanager?

    Hmm, not what I was really looking for - got a new ASUS GT-AX11000 - supposed to be the fastest router available.

    And I don't have another device to copy it to - just PLEX streaming (to LG OLED or 4k FireStick)

    Then taskmanager (or a network sniffer) shows the speed too, doesn't it?

    Copying uncached files LAN-wireless to LAN-cable (and back) is how review sites do it. This keeps numbers real.
