Chuck, RB2011 is probably not the best one to use, first it's excessively costly for what your using it for (you don't need ten ports). also it's cpu is so small that you can't run any tests over about 80mbps tcp. so you can probably only check the negotiated speed... If you had two decent computers you could use iperf or mikrotik btest.exe or buy two mikrotik CCR1009 or RB1100AH which will allow you to run full gig bandwidth tests.
