I guess you don't need to for my idea anyway which is to flood ping the router (ping it with an increased frequency and see if you get packet losses)

how would I do that in a way that measured bandwidth?

Well the original idea was to run something that accepts a TCP connection, and then run wireshark and see if you have a lot of retransmitted packets, which would mean the cable is probably bad and dropping packets.

You can probably still look at ping and see if there's packet drops but yeah, probably not as reliable doing it that way.
