how to get max download rate of the connection

I connected internet via a router. I can get current download rate and current upload rate by using router's API but I cannot get max download rate from that API. Is there any way calculating max download rate?

Hmmm. I want to clarify your setup here. Consider this diagram:

iOS device <- Wi-Fi -> router <- *** -> The Internet™

where 

***
is the uplink technology used by your routine (xDSL, cable, whatever). Are you looking for a number for 
***
?

Also, are you looking for a theoretical max? Or the actual max seen in practice?
