Windows 10: Looking for a free Wi-Fi tool that checks upload and download speed

I'm looking for a free Wi-Fi tool that checks your upload speed. And, your download speed.

How do I check the upload and download speed of my Wi-Fi connection on Windows 10?

How do I check the upload and download speed of my Wi-Fi connection on Windows 10?

OP - Upload and download speed

 

Reported Wi-Fi speed wrong

I have an FTTC Internet connection connected to a Plusnet Router 2704N. This bottlenecks my LAN and WLAN speeds to 100 Mbps and my WAN speed to 80/20.

When my PC is connected via LAN / Ethernet:

1. Windows reports that I have a 100 Mbps connection.
   
   
   
   
2. Speedtest.net reports download speed of ~60 Mbps and upload speed of ~15 Mbps upload.
   
   
   
   

However, when my PC is connected via WLAN / Wi-Fi:

1. Windows reports that I have a 130 Mbps connection.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Copying a single large file from the LAN via the WLAN to my PC transfers at ~2.2 MBps (~16 Mbps).
   
   
   
   
3. Speedtest.net reports download and upload speeds of ~13 Mbps.
   
   
   
   

So, why is Windows reporting the network connection speed correctly for LAN / Ethernet but incorrectly for WLAN / Wi-Fi? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

 

Wi-fi problem

The Spectrum tech came in on Friday because the speed test was slow, download was 12.8mb and upload was 7.7mb. I am paying for the max speed possible. So he changed out the connector at the wall, replaced a few cables and replaced the router. This router has 2 wi-fi speeds. 2.4g and 5g. All 3 of the laptops that I have and my cell phone see the 2.4g wi-fi but not the 5g wi-fi. Only my tablet sees both wi-fi's and can connect. Why only my tablet sees the 5g wi-fi?
