The best programs for optimizing your Internet connection. Programs and utilities to speed up the Internet
Surely, every user has repeatedly experienced a feeling of discomfort at moments, for example, while watching a favorite movie on the Internet, when video playback suddenly stops and a buffering phenomenon is observed.
Freeze open page, unusually long loading of the site, loss of connection - all this unpleasant consequences emerging “congestion” on the way of transmitting information packets over the network.
Regardless of the type of connection, the methods that will be described here will, to one degree or another, increase the Internet speed on Windows 7, this article will be especially useful for mobile Internet users.
How to remove Internet speed limit?
Method 1: Settings in the serial port parameters (COM1)
So, in order for us to detect these parameters, we go to the device manager (an Internet connection is not required now, the modem can be completely disabled): Start menu - Computer.
In Device Manager, open the “Ports” item.
Here we select “Serial Port (COM1)”.
Next in the window: Port parameters - in the “Bits per second” column, set the maximum value, confirm by clicking “Ok” and close all tabs.
Method 2: Settings in Reserved Bandwidth Limit Settings
Let's start searching for parameters: Start menu - All programs - Accessories - Command line
In the command line, enter the command: gpedit .msc and press the Enter key.
In the menu that opens, look for the “Computer Configuration” item and open it.
Then open the following folders: Administrative Templates - Network - Qos Packet Scheduler - Limit Reserved Bandwidth 
In the window that appears, place a marker next to the “Enable” item, and below in the “Bandwidth limit (%):” column enter the value - 0.
How to improve Internet speed using software?
Method 3: increase Internet speed using the Auslogics BoostSpeed utility
For this method you need to download and install the Auslogics BoostSpeed program. This utility available online as free version, so don't feed scammers! The program weighs only about 7 MB, we install it by default on local disk WITH.
After installing the program, reboot the system manually for the settings to take effect. Before using the utility, connect to the Internet and go into it through the shortcut that appears on the desktop.
Here we are interested in the “Tools” section. By clicking on it in the new menu we find the item “Internet acceleration”.
Below it, click on the “Automatic” button, select from three possible requests by Internet speed: fast, medium or slow, in accordance with your type of network connection, by moving the marker, we start the process through the “Analysis” button.
After checking, a list of all parameters that require optimization will appear on the screen, so click “Optimize” and wait for the operation to complete.
After which, a window will appear with a report on the work done and below the “Reboot” button.
Click on it, thereby rebooting Windows to accept the new data.
What to do if the Internet speed has dropped sharply?
Method 4: Delete temporary files from Application Data
In Application Data (AppData folder), we need only one directory called “Temp“. But to get to it, we need to first discover AppData, because it is a hidden system file.
To do this, perform the following algorithm of actions: Start menu - Computer - Organize (the button at the top of the window, on the left) - Folder and search options
Next is the view - in the window with additional parameters we go down the list, find the item “Show hidden files, folders and drives”, place a marker opposite it - a little higher in the list we find the column “Hide protected system files(recommended)" and uncheck the option - in the warning window, put consent - "Yes" - click in the previous window with the folder parameters "Apply".
Thus, we removed the protective effect of invisibility from hidden files systems, some of them will appear on the desktop.
Having found this folder, right-click on the name, find “Send” in the menu and click on “Desktop (create shortcut)”.
After all the steps, you can hide system files again in reverse order through the folder options. In this case, the folder “Temp” we need on the desktop will remain visible.
So, why do we need the Temp folder? When starting the browser, as well as when visiting various pages, blogs, websites, some temporary files from the network are delayed in the desired folder, which in turn slows down the data transfer. Therefore, if we notice a clear slowdown in page loading or a sharp drop in Internet speed, we should minimize the browser without closing it and enter the “Temp” folder.
In the “Temp” folder, select all the data and delete it through Delete key or right mouse button. Those files that are not deleted are service files; the rest of the “garbage” will end up in the trash, which should be emptied immediately.
The desire to speed up work on the Internet is a necessity that the user is driven by the lack of speed and extended request processing time (ping). There are a number of ways that allow the user to optimize Internet speed in Windows 10.
Why is my home internet slow?
No matter what you put on the water tap, the water will not flow faster, but if the street branch is “thrown” onto a new water pipeline, the pressure will always be there. Internet acceleration works in a similar way: it is not an increase in the speed of your connection without the knowledge of the provider, but the use of faster connections between the servers of your provider and the same mail.ru.
The Internet consists of servers and data centers connected to each other by wired and wireless communication channels of different capacities. It doesn’t matter which way you go to access Yandex mail or distribute Zhanna Friske’s collection from your PC to other people via BitTorrent - DNS servers (domain name servers) with different IPs, automatically selected by default, will take care of this. It is useful to indicate the highest speed ones known to you - data transfer will be faster.
Manual DNS-IP selection is the easiest way to speed up the processing of user requests. Thus, Google, a giant company with huge annual income, does not buy servers and data centers, but produces them itself. Its DNS - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - are indicated as priority DNS.
How to speed up the Internet on Windows
Many instructions in Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 are very similar. The emphasis in the description is on Windows 8/10.
Changing the network bandwidth limit in Windows 10
It was in the top ten that Microsoft developers installed a software reduction in Internet speed by 20%. That is, having purchased an unlimited package of 35 Mbit/s, you will encounter a “ceiling” of 28 Mbit/s. This is designed to track your PC statistics by Microsoft, collecting information about software errors for improvements and corrections next versions Windows (11, 12, etc., which may be released by 2019–2021). To disable this limit, do the following.
- Give the command “Start - Run” and enter gpedit.msc (from the English Group Politics Editor - group policy adjuster). The “Group Editor” will launch Windows policies" Advanced configuration of the Group Policy Client service is currently only available in Windows 10 Professional.
- Give the command “Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Network - QoS Packet Scheduler - Limit Reserved Bandwidth”.
- Don't forget to enable advanced view for this setting. Now open the “Limit Reservable Bandwidth” function window by double-clicking on it and set the marker to “Enabled”, and enter a zero value in the number field.
- Make sure that the network service “QoS Packet Scheduler” (Quality of Service) is working. Give the command “Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change Extra options public access- (your adapter) - Properties". The QoS scheduler component must be active.
- Close all windows by clicking OK and restart Windows. Download a movie or music selection from the app Download Master, uTorrent or similar, after setting the application you are using to maximum speed. It is better to check the peak speed on your Internet tariff in the early morning hours, when your channel performance is best. You will definitely see the difference. If you have reached the speed limit set on your tariff, then disabling the reserved speed will take effect.
Not only good intentions prompted Microsoft to “score” this 20%: apparently, they decided that in the age of 100-megabit Internet packages, people would not immediately notice that they only have 80 megabits instead of 100. Fortunately, everything is switchable. If something happens, craftsmen will freely and disinterestedly modify the original Windows 10, turning off all the “suction” that prevents people from working.
Viral activity affecting the connection
You often come across software pests:
- "Trojans" that download the lion's share of the speed of your Internet channel;
- adware involved in the distribution of porn, advertising of online casinos, fake Chinese watches and iPhones, and other evil spirits that are absolutely unnecessary for a normal person;
- self-extracting archives and installers disguised as Android firmware and other “utilities”, demanding money via SMS and filling up Windows with a bunch of unnecessary junk, and they are downloaded from fake file hosting services (letitbitka.ru instead of letitbit.net, etc.);
- javascript elements on the pages of popular blogs, generating endless requests for non-existent domains that would never open on their own, and loading self-deleting files.
Try to use several different antiviruses separately. Among them are 360 Total Security, Avast, Panda, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, NOD32 and similar. After completing a deep scan with one of them, you can launch one or two more antiviruses one by one. The main thing is not to enable several antiviruses at the same time: this is fraught with program conflicts.
Optimizing file sharing speed on your computer or mobile device
If you download and distribute tens of gigabytes of multimedia and programs every day, you always need to clearly know how much of your unlimited bandwidth you allocate to file sharing. If there is a lack of speed, don’t be lazy to check what values you have set in “downloading” applications - for example, when distributing recently released movies and music albums to other people via uTorrent.
An important video conference or online meeting in your company is disrupted? Are you a reporter and are you having trouble sending your video footage? Are you trading gold on Forex, but the speed of your cellular provider is low due to the overload of the nearest tower, causing trades that need to be opened right now to fail? And so on and so forth… The downloads will have to wait. Reduce flow rate from background programs or close them.
View and audit traffic through Windows Task Manager
Do the following.
Attention! Be careful with system processes(explorer.exe, winlogon.exe, wininit.exe, smss.exe, lsass.exe, copies of svchost.exe with different parameters and similar processes - as well as processes of your hardware drivers, for example, atiex.exe, conexantdrv. exe, etc.). Closing any of them may disrupt the behavior and operation of Windows, and then only a short press of the power button, pre-programmed to shut down Windows operation, will allow you to exit a failed session. To avoid difficulties, check the lists of Windows processes and services often; If possible, study these lists: it will be easier to determine, when a PC is infected, where the virus is and where the system processes are.
Enabling turbo mode in browsers
This is a mode in which images, animations, photos and videos are compressed on web pages. It is available in any modern browser. Suitable for people with "castrated" unlimited tariffs, which have a bunch of notes in the description, for people with laptops that connect to the Internet via USB modems, and even cellular internet- a phenomenon that is extremely unstable and capricious.
So, if you have Yandex.Browser, the “Turbo” mode is enabled on the settings page. Click on the button in the form of three stripes on the right top corner"Yandex.Browser"; will open General settings, which have turbo mode control.
Increase speed on Wi-Fi
The declared speed of 150/300 Mbit/s is a deception: cheap Chinese routers have weak processors and RAM. For real speed of at least the declared 54 or 100 megabits, do not skimp on more expensive and high-speed equipment.
- Turn off WPA(2) encryption - this wastes the processor and RAM buffer resources of the router. For security, enable the MAC filter - this will prevent strangers from connecting to your network.
- Enable modern speed - 802.11n/ac (150/1200 Mbps).
- Regularly update your router firmware latest version until the manufacturer stops software “managing” your device.
- Do not turn on the maximum power of the router - this is excessive heat, which means a decrease in performance and data exchange speed.
- Use a Wi-Fi band of 20 rather than 40 MHz.
- Do not install the router behind a computer desk, PC system unit or other metal obstacles. It is advisable to raise it higher and install it in the center of the house or apartment.
For example, we took the ZTE-MF90+ mobile 4G router (seller - VimpelCom OJSC, 04/13/2016). The 20 MHz band was “hard-wired” from the start; firmware was not installed on ZTE proprietary software; it was unlocked for SIM Yota.
The network has been made open.
Add MAC from iPhone 4s (A1387).
Energy saving and network radius are optimized.
How to view/change network settings in the Windows Registry
- Give the command "Start - Run" and launch the registry editor by entering key phrase regedit.exe (or regedit). The guide is aimed primarily at 3G/4G modems: specifically in cellular networks There is often a lack of speed due to the abundance of subscribers.
- Create a file MODEM921600.REG, open it in Windows Notepad and enter the following text: “REGEDIT4
"Properties"=hex:80,01,00,00,ff,00,00,00,ff,00,00,00,07,00,00,00,0f,00,00,00,\
77,07,00,00,00,10,0e,00,00,fa,00,00.” Save and run this document. The registry editor will rewrite the data from it. - Restart Windows, go to the properties of your modem. You will now have port speeds of 230400, 460800 and 921600 bps (previously the maximum was 115.2 kbps).
- Give the command "Control Panel - Network - (your modem) - Properties - Advanced."
- Make sure you have the following settings:
- “P2P protocol” - Enabled;
- “IP packet size” - Largest (MTU will reach 1500);
- “Keep a log” - No;
- “Enable IP header compression” - No;
- “Modem type” - NDIS.
- Save your settings and restart your connection.
After performing these manipulations, the Internet speed should increase.
Reducing Internet cache size
If you use the HandyCache application, do not forget to clean out the \Cache subfolder in its folder.
In browsers, the cache size is also limited: it is recommended not to allocate space on drive C: larger than 100 MB for Internet cache. For example, to get to managing the cache size in Mozilla Firefox, give the command “Settings - Advanced - Network”.
Other methods to speed up web surfing
Other measures include:
- modification of the antennas of the Wi-Fi adapter and router, ensuring line of sight;
- the use of more powerful and “long-range” routers with multiple antennas and high-speed processors and RAM;
- use of several different connections to the network (both of the same type and “discordantly”) in the “bridge + repeater” mode in order to increase throughput;
- using several LAN/WAN connections in one hub or router with LAN-Cat5e connectors, creating local network with several “Internet sources” of any configuration.
Several independent connections to the Internet, combined into a network bridge, will only give an increase in speed in normal web surfing (without HTTPS and “packaging” traffic through port 443), including downloading files through download managers and torrents). On single-stream data, for example, Internet radio and YouTube, you are unlikely to gain anything from the bridge - there will be a “single” speed.
For example, the incoming speed is perfectly summarized using the Connectify Dispatch application. So, you can combine 4G modems: say, three such modems, equipped Yota SIM cards With free speed 128 kbit/s on “modem” Yota tariff, in total they will give a speed of up to 384 kbps (3*128), which will be best felt when downloading/distributing torrents.
A quick guide to speeding up the Internet in Windows 7/8/10: video
Speeding up the Internet is an urgent, but not too difficult task. Use any of the tips below. Good luck to you!
Online games, video streaming, working with cloud services led to the fact that the speed is usually not enough, no matter what tariff plan you choose. It often happens that for the first two or three weeks after connecting, the Internet in Windows 10 “flies”, and then it lands and walks slowly. Why the speed decreases, who “eats” your traffic, how to avoid it and how to speed up the Internet - we’ll look at it below.
Why is my internet connection slow?
Some 15 years ago, an Internet channel with a speed of 128 Mbit was either fantasy or a very expensive reality. Only organizations or very wealthy individuals could afford this. Most of the RuNet came online through telephone line and Dial-Up modems, operating at speeds ranging from "slow" to "very slow".
A digital PBX and a stable 33 kbit channel were the dream of any network apologist of that time. Attempts to programmatically speed up such a channel were made, but their effectiveness was the same as giving an enema to a dead patient.
As time passed, Internet providers multiplied like mushrooms after rain, speeds grew, and tariffs became more and more affordable: now a channel of 100 Mbit is available to almost any city resident, even over the air you can keep 5–10 Mbit. But, oddly enough, the problem of insufficient speed has not gone away. It can occur for many reasons, but they are all divided into two groups: software and hardware. Problems of both types can occur both at the user (computer, router, cable route) and at the provider (last mile, home routers, servers of the Internet provider itself). And, if problems on the part of the provider can be corrected only by communicating with the technical support service, or even by waiting for a planned network upgrade, then most problems in a house or apartment can be eliminated either programmatically or by simple manipulations with a computer or router.
Let's structure the reasons for the drop in Internet connection speed and look at them in detail.
Reason - provider equipment
Problems on the part of the provider are usually related to the “last mile,” the quality of routing, or the trafficability of the backbone channel. Let's take a closer look at what this means.
Problems with last mile cable
The “last mile” in telecom jargon is the section of line between your equipment and the service provider’s equipment. That is, a cable from your home router to the router in the entrance, an optical-to-copper converter, or to the cross-cabinet of the telephone company (if we are talking about an aDSL connection). The length of this section of cable can be quite significant (from 10 to 50 meters), and the cable, to be honest, installers use the cheapest one, intended for use only inside heated residential premises. Stretched in the cable well of the entrance, or even on the outside of the wall of the house, the cable is exposed to moisture, heat and cold, which renders it inoperable within several years. But before it completely stops working, such a line can work unstably for several months, with constant breaks, signal fading and a drop in speed.
Poor quality router in the entrance or house
The performance of the system is always equal to the speed of the weakest element. Often these are routers in the entrances of apartment buildings. If such a device has a speed of 1 Gbit, and 50 apartments are connected to it, everyone will only be able to receive 20 Mbit of traffic, regardless of their tariff plan. Providers are in no hurry to modernize equipment - there is a crisis.
Weak provider backbone
Luring new users, providers promise astronomical speeds for very modest money. But when it comes to signing the contract, you are faced with the wording “speed up to 100 Mbit”. This means that the provider will try to provide you with such channel performance, but cannot guarantee it. After all, in the morning or evening the number of connected users increases several times, which creates a peak load on both the backbone channel and the servers. This is especially noticeable in response speed: it can decrease by two to three times. If you don't want to put up with such performance dips, switch to tariff plans with guaranteed speed. But the monthly fee in such plans is two or more times higher.
Reason - user technique
Client equipment or computer configuration can also cause low wired or wireless Internet speeds. And, unlike previous problems, the user can directly influence these, thereby speeding up the quality of communication with the network.
Low Wi-Fi signal strength
In order to match sanitary standards and the requirements of the radio frequency committee, the transmitter power of most home Wi-Fi routers does not exceed 250 mW. In combination with internal antennas of low gain (both on the router and on the laptop), this leads to the fact that stable communication is provided only in the case of direct visibility of the devices. Even a brick interior partition reduces the signal level by half. Reinforced concrete - three times. When the router is located in one of the living rooms, and the client, say, in the kitchen, a couple of partitions in the signal path are enough for the Internet speed to drop to completely indecent.
Infecting your computer with a virus
Among the many malware Botnet clients stand apart. Once installed on your computer, the program turns it into part of a distributed computer network, which criminals use for their own purposes: password selection, calculation of cryptocurrencies, etc. When working, such a virus generates great amount outgoing traffic, capable of “putting down” an Internet channel of any speed. As a result, your machine barely moves, and not only the Internet speed drops, but also the overall system performance.
Working as a torrent client or download manager
Torrent trackers are a favorite pastime for users who fall into the “why pay more” category. After all, programs, films and music can be downloaded here completely free of charge, although not very legally. Programs for downloading such resources are among the most voracious consumers of traffic. Running in the background with a dozen or two downloads, it will take up the Internet channel so much that you won’t even be able to open simple web pages.
How to speed up the Internet on Windows 10
There are several ways to speed up the Internet, including Windows system, and to work with physical devices. And, if everything is clear with the latter (buying a router with a more powerful antenna, placing it in the optimal location in the apartment, using a laptop with a high-quality Wi-Fi module, etc.), then the methods related to setting up the system should be considered in more detail.
Windows Registry Tweaks
The Windows operating system has several mechanisms, the configuration of which can significantly affect the loading speed of Internet pages. But set them up in a normal way, through the Control Panel, is impossible. We need to make changes to the system registry, for which we need the Regedit program included in the system.
Increasing DNS cache size
If you are a frequent visitor to the same Internet resources (social networks, forums, online game portals), then your traffic consists of a large amount of monotonous data that needs caching. The same applies to the IP addresses with which the exchange takes place. If you increase the size of the DNS cache several times, pages will load noticeably faster. How to increase the cache? It's as simple as that.
This life hack will help increase the loading speed of web pages, and only those that you access frequently. It will not affect the download speed of files by download managers or the response speed of games.
Using the entire channel width - disabling the QoS service
As soon as the Windows Update service appeared in Windows XP, the developers, in addition to it, launched an Internet channel reservation system (QoS Reserved Bandwidth Limit). It was needed so that updates could be guaranteed to download in the background. Thus, 20% of the traffic by default is reserved for system needs. For example, if your provider provides you with a speed of 100 Mbit, then 80 Mbit will be available to the user, and 20 is reserved for system updates in the background. How to return 20% of the channel width to the user? This is a significant increase in speed! The registry editor Regedit.exe will help us again.
Disabling TCP autotuning
Above we considered the situation when the user visits the same sites. Now let’s consider the exact opposite option - a variety of sites open, in large numbers and unsystematically. In this case, you need to disable the TCP/IP protocol auto-tuning function, since it does not work effectively with a large number of servers of different speeds, and pages, on the contrary, will load more slowly.
To disable the auto-tuning feature, follow the sequence of commands.
Programs and utilities to speed up the Internet
There are a number of programs designed to work with protocols and speed up the Internet. Let's look at how to work with some of them to automate the process of increasing speed.
TCP optimizer - TCP/IP optimization
- Download the TCP Optimizer program, unpack the distribution archive and run it.
- Set the maximum connection speed (depending on your tariff plan) using the slider in the Connection Speed column.
- From the Network Adapter selection drop-down list, select the network adapter through which the computer is connected to the Internet.
To select the desired adapter in TCP Optimizer, click on the drop-down menu and select your device - Use the Optimal settings button to select the optimal connection settings.
TCP Optimizer has an Optimal settings radio button; you should click on it so that the program automatically applies the most suitable settings for your computer - Apply the settings using the Apply Changes button.
- For the changed settings to take effect, restart the operating system.
Video: setting up and using the TCP optimizer program
If you still have any questions, check out the video that explains in detail how to work with the TCP Optimizer program.
NameBench program
For online games, working with remote databases and active use search engines important factor is the response time - the so-called Ping. Its value is associated with the route that the request takes from point A to point B. Main role DNS servers play a role in this network navigation. Those servers that the provider provides by default are not always the best option. Therefore, it would be useful to have a program in your arsenal that can compare response speed with different DNS servers. This is the NameBench program, which will be discussed below.
To use the program, you need to complete the following steps.
Video: Using NameBench
To visually familiarize yourself with the utility, you can watch a video about working with it, which tells you how to speed up the Internet with its help.
How to speed up the Internet via Wi-Fi
Residents of apartment buildings have the hardest time. In addition to the signal interference that is created by partitions in the apartment, the speed decrease also comes from the operation of the neighbors’ routers. This is especially noticeable when using inexpensive routers operating at a frequency of 20 MHz (the majority of these). If two or more routers operate within the same frequency channel, they will interfere with each other, reducing speed and transmitting data packets with errors. Therefore, when setting up a router, it is very important to choose a channel on which no one is working except you, or the number of working devices is minimal. This can be done using the Wifi Analyzer program, which exists as an application for Android and iOS.
After launching, the program scans the air in real time and draws channel load graphs, looking at which you can select a free one and configure the router specifically for it.
To avoid receiving your neighbors’ signal, you can try installing an antenna with less sensitivity or reducing the power of the radio path in the router settings (if any). But the best option would be to buy a 5 GHz router, since it is currently the least crowded (and has more channels).
Video: Using WiFi Analyzer Software
As we have seen, there are no ideal systems. In any case, the channel speed can be optimized and get an increase of 15–20%, or even more. Follow our lessons and your Internet will fly, not crawl.
These optimizations are designed to increase speed slow connection, and if your Internet speed is 1 Mbit or more, this is unlikely to help you (where else :)).
Settings
In the same Device Manager, go to the settings of the COM port on which your modem is installed, go to the Port Settings tab and set the maximum speed. Then click the Advanced button and in the next window increase the buffer to the maximum.
Now let's configure your modem's cache. IN Windows folder There is a system.ini file, open it and enter the line Com1Irq4Buffer=1024 into the section if your modem is on COM1, and enter Com2Irq3Buffer=1024 if it is on COM2.
In Start\Run, enter gpedit.msc. In the Computer Configuration section, select Administrative Templates, then Network, and then in the right pane, select “QoS Packet Manager” and double-click on it. Select the “Limit reserved bandwidth” option and double-click on it again. In the window that opens, turn on Enabled, and then specify the channel limit as a percentage equal to zero, click “OK” and exit the program. Or you can simply disable the QoS service
Programs
Exist special programs to increase internet speed. But you shouldn’t use a dozen of these programs at once; I can recommend two - AusLogics BoostSpeed and Throttle. I have these programs on my website. Use in this order: first treat your computer with Throttle, then using BoostSpeed in manual optimization mode, disable RFC 1323 Settings and enable Selective Acknowlegement with Black Hole. Well, then bring it to the final form manually.
You can find out how to work with it. All basic network access speed settings are located at HKEY_LOCAL_MASHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ Tcpip\ Parameters. All changes to the listed parameters must be made in the decimal system, not in hexadecimal! If you are missing any parameter, you can create it yourself as a DWORD
DefaultTTL- packet lifetime, set it to 256 - just in case))
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize- maximum packet size, set 32768 on dialup 56k
MTU- the size of the received MTU packet, on a 56k dialup the optimal value is 1536 (you can try the value 576)
TcpWindowSize- Tcp packet size, set it to 16384 (you can try the value 8192, but just don’t set it higher than GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize), if you have a 56k dialup
Tcp1323Opts- 0 (off) - a completely unnecessary function - measures in advance the transmission time of each packet, ftopka...
EnablePMTUDiscovery- 1(incl.), EnablePMTUBHDetect- 1 (on) - these options determine path fragmentation and look for “black holes”, slightly increase speed
KeepAliveInterval, KeepAliveTime- these parameters determine the time after which keep-alive packets will be sent, which are not needed by anyone, but eat up part of the traffic. Therefore, we set zeros in both cases to disable these parameters.
DeadGWDetectDefault- 0 (off) - disables preliminary search for broken routers, which usually slows down the Internet.
When you enter any website, the name of the site is “translated” into its IP address. All this is stored in the DNS cache, that is, the information is taken from the cache, and does not “translate on the fly.” You can increase the size of the DNS cache, thereby increasing the speed of surfing the Internet. To do this, you must create and run a reg file containing the following text:
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012d
By the way, the periodic DNS cache needs to be cleared. This is done like this: Start\Execute\ and enter ipconfig /flushdns
Slow connection speed occurs when there are a large number of files in one directory. This problem is solved this way: Create a reg file with the following content:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
"SizReqBuf"=dword:0000ffff
Now run the created file.
The bane of any surfer is banners and other advertising. If you use the Opera 9.x browser, you can download my anti-banner, otherwise you can download the BoostSpeed or AdMuncher program, it has banner blocking.
To increase the speed of the Internet via a telephone line, replace the “noodles” between the computer and the input box on the site with a 4-wire wire for telephone sets, connecting it: signal-ground-signal-ground. Speed will increase by 25-60%
Add a few commas after the numbers to the provider number (select the optimal number experimentally). Now, after dialing a number, your modem will pause (two seconds for each comma). The modem answering the call will at this time try to establish a connection to high speeds and, having not received a response, will begin to attempt communication at a lower speed. And then your modem, after waiting for the specified pause, will give an answer.
If the external modem is not placed on the system unit, but the system unit itself is grounded, then the speed increases by 10-15 percent.
If, when turning on the computer, you forgot to turn on the external modem, then it is not at all necessary to reboot for it, the modem, to be detected by the OS. Just go to My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Update hardware configuration. The operating system will find your modem. Or you can download the program
