if your router is UPNP and shows up in network connection u can get it to display the net speed by right clicking its icon and pressing properties

although i found the reading to be all over the place so i ignore it

now our router decided to stop showing up in network connections oh well its me dads anyway so i cant do anything about it.

There is a tickbox on the internet gateway icon under network connections to show it in the taskbar, this then supposedly shows your internet connection speed i guess (could be wrong thoug as i dont know much about networking).

As for the rest of your post im afraid i have no idea what you are talking about,( sorry im no networking pro).
Are you able to explain in leymans terms?
