To troubleshoot a network problem I would like to inquire the real network "speed" for a given network adapter, which can be seen when opening the "status" of a network connection under.

How can I test the speed of a LAN? I hope there is something baked into Windows to do this, because I am unable to install any third-party products.
Ideally always test with a wired connection to limit factors (wifi interference). Here is a few steps i would do in order to find the problem and test network speed: First, make sure that the links between your.
Understanding the Context
Please add the OS and router model you have. BTW, you can connect the laptop both wired and wireless (eventually with a virtual network device), and test the transfer data speed between the two.
Doing a speed test from PC to PC, etc may not be accurate because your computing power might need to be very powerful in order to push that kind of data. CAT6A would guarantee up.
This does not address "How to measure LAN speed between these two computers explicitly?.. Speed is maximal number of bytes can be sent per second."
Every internet speed test I try (sponsored and independent) show that each device on my home network has ~50 Mb/s download speed. My router also lets me perform a speed test.
Key Insights
Is there any way to measure precisely bandwidth between two computers in a LAN?
Both PCs negotiate at 2.5Gbps mode as confirmed in the network adapter status screen. Both PCs have IPv6 turned off. The CPU load on the NUC during a speedtest never goes over 30%..
And a 2nd question, wouldn't it be more useful to have a program, either on you computer or your router, that monitors network performance passively? That means, instead of starting speed tests.
