The network card plays a decisive role when connecting to the Internet. Thanks to the presence of this card in our equipment, we can access the network at a certain speed. Therefore, it plays a decisive role when it comes to set speed. At this time we find several types of network cards available. Certainly many of you are familiar with these guys.
Can find with a wired or wireless network card to connect to Ethernet or WiFi. Something that arises in a usual way is that most do not know the real capacity of their card. Even though knowing this is essential and extremely useful for us.
It is a limitation that we must avoid since this prevents us from knowing if certain devices can be used or if we navigate at the maximum available speed. Therefore, it is necessary to know this detail. In this way, we know that we are making the most of our network card. With that in mind, we explain below the steps to follow hereonfigure the network card in Windows 10 so that it is at maximum speed.
Which We are going to clarify that it is with an Ethernet network card.. Since it is the most common and the one that the absolute majority of PCs have.
Gigabit Ethernet network card
Most of today's computers have a Gigabit Ethernet network card.. Thanks to these cards they are ready to receive current connection speeds. So, all users with a recent computer have such a card. Its use has become very widespread in recent years. Mainly because the internet speed has increased significantly.. Fundamentally with the arrival of optical fiber.
Desde ahora se han logrado grandes velocidades. En realidad, se espera que pronto inclusive be viable lograr 1 GB de velocidad. Debido a que, if our network card is configured at maximum speed, when this is viable we will be able to enjoy it. To configure this we must have a 10/100/1000 card, which supports speeds of up to 1GB / s.
Tener una de estas tarjetas significa que podemos tener hasta 100 mb. Por tanto, dispone de una gran influencia tanto en la velocidad con la que navegamos por Internet como en la copia de archivos al disco duro de un server. Pero regularmente la tarjeta está mal configurada. We show you how to configure it correctly Following:
Configure the network card in Windows 10
The first thing we will do is know the current state of the configuration. Since from this dynamic we can check if the card is truly wrongly configured. Because if this is the situation, then we have to act on it. To check it we have to carry out the following steps:
- Go to the icon taskbar
- Look for the icon Internet
- Tap on network and internet configuration
- Click on Ethernet
- Click change adapter alternatives
- Double click on Ethernet. There, you get the speed, it can be 100 mbps or 1 Gbps. If it is the second we do not have to do anything, but if it is the first we have to configure the card.
If you are one of the users getting 100 Mbps, we have to configure the network card. Because this speed means that we are not at full speed. Therefore, we do not get the most out of the card. Luckily changing this is easy. Basically we have to set it to 1Gbps. This is accomplished by following the steps below:
- In the window where the speed was indicated you must click properties
- Check that the option Microsoft network clients is marked, if not, do it
- Click on set up
- We are going to Advanced Options
- Search Speed and duplex
- Change the value to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex
- To accept
By doing this, the procedure is already finished.. You have configure your network card appropriately, therefore now we are making the most of it.
