A forgotten and often under-estimated software of the Windows ecosystem.
One aspect of these uses that well see today is to test and improve ones internet connection.
Using Ping
First thing to test, is your internet connection.
We do this, by using Ping.
Ping is a Windows program that comes pre-installed with the OS.
It is a text based program and therefore needs text based commands to execute.
Its the software used to test the latency on your connection.
The first thing to do, is pop pop the Start Menu and search for the command prompt.
it’s possible for you to do this by typing cmd in the search box and hitting enter.
Enter the commandping google.com.
Once typed, hit Enter and wait for your command prompt to look like the image below.
An average time of 3 ms is considered very good.
If this happens, it can point to some issues in your internet connection.
If its a physical/hardware issue, its time to have it checked out.
If however, thats not the case then you could try the following steps to boost the speed.
The following steps also use the command prompt and will help you fix the issue, if it exists.
Step 2:The next step is to change the default TCP parameters.
Users have reported an increase of upto 35% at times after these steps.
Hopefully they might work for you as well.
