Connected to the AT&T Router connected to the Internet via both:
WiFi 5GHz
Cat5 cable directly to the router.

I see both at the tray window showing the connections available.

I am trying to see what the speed is for each.

How do I steer to the connection I want to test ?

What tests can I do ?

Turn off or unplug the one that you don't want.
It's not a good idea to have both connected at the same time.

Just for the record, multiple network connections are definitely better
than one (think link redundancy with automatic failover), as long as you
don't expect both links to be used simultaneously by default. You *can*
use both links simultaneously, but it takes a bit of configuration.

Without that manual configuration, the link with the lowest metric will
get all of the traffic. If that link disappears, the link with the
higher metric will get promoted and will begin taking all of the
traffic. You'd likely notice a hiccup, but failover to the second link
would happen automatically, without user intervention. A hiccup is
better than a full outage.
