Is connection benchmark still busted?

Whenever I try to use connection benchmark it is no-where even close to my speeds,

this is what it shows vs speedtest.net, vs isp speed test

It's not busted but it does use a different speed test provider/servers so depending on your location and route to those servers the speeds may differ but it doesn't mean those are the speeds you're getting, so if speedtest.net shows more accurately then you can go with that

Okay thank you, also do you know why my ISP modem would show my full speeds in a speed test but speed test.net wouldn't, would I set the R2 to the speed test speeds or the ISP speed test

If it's a pure modem then it's not routing anything so speeds would be roughly 50Mbps higher. Other than that they are very likely testing your speed to one of their servers which would be closer and better routed so it would always appear to be higher but connecting to anywhere else will always take longer so that is why it would differ. If your speedtest.net speeds are consistently at the same kind of values I would use those so QoS can be more accurate.
