can we capture the router download and upload speed as shown in router

Hi, I am having two details, capable and actual download and upload speed in meba bytes in my router dlink 2730 u model.
Can i capture this actual download and upload speed details in the desktop, so that i need not log in to the router every time to check or to go to speed showing websites .
Is there any trick or any computer application to show the same.
Please experts.
It should just capture the actual speed? or it is not possible without pinging or going to websites to test.

If you want to get the actual download and upload speed, you need to test these speeds by going to a testing website. For example, you could go to www.speedtest.net. It will tell you the actual speeds.

There is no way to get this information without actually running a test on the internet.

please elaborate. Because the speed fluctuate, which I want to constantly monitor .

If the speed is fluctuating, then that could be caused by any of the components that are between your computer and the computer at the other end of the line, that is, the computer that is being used to test your speed. You have no control over that. But in fact that is the way things are in the real world -- computers go down and up, heavy network traffic is sometimes on the line, slowing down your communication, etc.

The only thing you can do is note the slowest speed, the fastest speed, the average speed, and the speed that you most often achieve. You could also note the speed at different times of the day, or on different days in the week. This information will probably be useful to you in understanding why things are sometimes slow, and in predicting the best (i.e. the fastest) times for getting on the internet.

In your original post, you asked about the capable download and upload speeds. This is the speed you achieve in a laboratory, when all factors are controlled. That is not representative of the real world; the only thing it tells you is what is the very best speed you can achieve when all conditions are perfect.

If you have the option of choosing a different internet service provider, you may find that one gives you a higher speed than the other one. Or maybe they both give the same speed.

If your speed is consistently slow, then perhaps your network is not configured properly, or perhaps one of your networking devices or cables is bad. Checking the actual speed will give you this kind of information.

Good luck.

Excellent answer . But I need elaborate reply on why router actual speeds cannot be captured

I don't know the answer to that question.

I come across some network gadgets in rainmeter,but they only show when actual download or upload takes place probably in bytes per second. Can this be made to show in megabytes as in router page. When gadgets could capture the download and upload speed.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Rainmeter.

That's example gadget
