Program for optimizing Internet connection. Why is my home internet slow?

Facebook

Greetings, dear readers! In the last article I told you, . There we used one simple program that dug out for us necessary information, and then we spent a long, long time tinkering with the settings to achieve the result we needed. Personally, it took me about an hour (taking into account the analysis of the program, about 40 minutes).

In this article I will also tell you how to speed up the Internet or, in other words, how to optimize your Internet connection. But this time everything will be very simple. The Internet connection optimization program is very simple and works in one click. That is, we click on the button, the program will think a little and do everything for us. I love programs like this!

As I said in the previous article, there is no way we can expand the Internet channel we receive from your provider. But we can optimize it - this time with the help of a program. After optimization, the Internet, in fact, will not change, but the speed of display of sites should increase.

In addition, the program is simple, you should not have any problems with it, so I recommend everyone to try it.

And now the instructions for using our program! By the way, I forgot to give you the name of this program - Auslogics, and you can download it.

Download the program from this site, unpack the downloaded file using any archiver, such as WinRar, and run boot file Auslogics IO 2.0.6.55.exe.

After installation, if you did not uncheck any boxes, a program icon should be created on the desktop + the program itself should start. I recommend using automatic optimization for everything rather than manual optimization.

So, the first program window looks like this:

In it you need to select the speed of your Internet connection and click on the “Analysis” button.

My analysis took 20 seconds, at the end I got the result:

What do we do now? We correct all the shortcomings using the “Optimize” button! Before clicking on it, you must close all browsers (including this article).

So, click on the “Optimize” button. The program will do everything quickly enough, after which the computer will need to restart (the program itself will prompt you to do this).

Important! If the program gave an error in the results and said that not everything was done, then you just need to select a different Internet connection speed (most likely you made a mistake in your choice). Then do everything again.

In fact, that's all optimization for you. At the end of the work, the program can be deleted; you are unlikely to need it anymore, since the settings will be saved.

I hope the cleaning program computer CCleaner was useful to you. In the future we will definitely consider similar programs, and not to miss these lessons, and receive new articles directly to your inbox! See you!

I love simple “one-click” computer programs, especially if they are in Russian, free and do everything that users expect from them.

Today I want to tell you about similar program to optimize the Internet. Auslogics Internet Optimizer will automatically check your system and browser Internet connection settings and optimize them with one click computer mouse(the program also has a manual mode for advanced users).

This program was once independent a long time ago, but is now included in the optimization package Auslogics BoostSpeed. This is an excellent set of programs for speeding up your computer, but it’s a little paid, large and English language(newest sixth version).

Although Auslogics Internet Optimizer is included in the free trial version of Auslogics BoostSpeed, I still suggest you temporarily install clean version Internet Optimizer, improve your network settings with one click, and then delete it. So you will do without unnecessary programs (running services) on the computer and get accelerated loading sites.

Attention! Auslogics Internet Optimizer will not expand your Internet channel given by the provider, but will change the network settings for faster display of sites, which will achieve Internet optimization.

Many people will find the above explanation complicated, so the best way to understand it, install the program and see how the Internet speeds up in practice.

So, on the official website of the manufacturers there are no longer separate program— I suggest downloading it from the link below, from Yandex.Disk...

File size - 5.8 MB. Don't worry - this is not a hacked program and it doesn't have any extras. Completely free and working utility...

Don’t click on “Update” - it will redirect you to the website and offer to download full package Auslogics BoostSpeed and nothing more.

After launching Auslogics Internet Optimizer will ask about the type of your Internet connection...

Point and click on “Analysis”...

We get the result...

When you hover your mouse over a line, a hint will appear at the bottom of the program window...

CLOSE ALL BROWSERS and click “Optimize”...

That's all Internet optimization— launch the browser and enjoy the boiling water from fast surfing the Internet.

If you have advanced knowledge of Internet connection settings, you can use manual mode program work...

As I wrote above, after optimizing your Internet connection settings, you can safely delete Auslogics Internet Optimizer.

And finally, let me remind you that I have already told you how to speed up the Internet by 450%. Until new useful programs.

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 escape velocity 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 may also be the cause of low wired or wireless internet. 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 Low gain (for both the router and the laptop) leads to the fact that stable communication is ensured 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. Launched in background with a dozen or two downloads, it will occupy 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 place in the apartment, using a laptop with high-quality Wi-Fi module etc.), then the methods related to setting up the system should be considered in more detail.

Windows Registry Tweaks

IN operating system Windows 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. Need to make changes to 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 several times DNS cache, 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 update service appeared in Windows XP Windows Update, 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 - sites open in a variety of ways, in large quantities and haphazardly. 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.
Install maximum speed connections (depending on your tariff plan) using the slider in the Connection Speed column.
From the Network Adapter selection drop-down list, select network adapter, through which the computer is connected to the Internet.
To choose required adapter in TCP Optimizer, click on the drop-down menu and select your device
Use the Optimal settings button to select optimal settings connections.
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.

If you still have any questions, check out the video that explains in detail how to work with TCP program Optimizer.

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 most the best option There will be a purchase of a router in the 5 GHz band, since it is currently the least populated (and there are more channels there).

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.

In most cases, speed problems are related to the tariff or malfunctions on the side of the provider or user equipment. However, there are cases when a decrease in speed is due to software settings or malfunctions. In this case, you can try to correct the situation on your own. Let's figure out how to speed up the Internet on Windows 10, what needs to be done for this, etc.

All overclocking options can be divided into the following categories:

removing restrictions in the operating system;
removing restrictions in third-party programs;
fixing errors and updating firmware in the router/modem;
using settings for slow Internet;
network optimization using third-party software.

One of the methods listed will definitely help you make your connection faster and more stable. Next, all methods will be considered in the form step-by-step guides, as well as ways to check speed.

How to check speed

To get started, measure your connection speed using special service. This is necessary in order to verify the data with your tariff plan. It is possible that the Internet is not limited in any way, but fully corresponds to the declared speed. In this case, you need to use services to measure speed, ping and other parameters.

The most popular option is checking on Speedtest.net. To do this, go to the website http://www.speedtest.net/ through any browser and click the Begin Test button.

Next, automatic selection of the nearest server and speed measurement will begin.

At the end of the procedure, you will see the Download and Upload Speed, Ping data on the screen. Verify the information received with your provider's tariff plan information.

Most providers have similar services. For example, for the Rostelecom provider you need to visit the page https://moscow.rt.ru/service/srvhomeinet/connect_inet/speed_internet and select the desired region.

The Windows 10 operating system has a built-in network scan feature that can be used through the Task Manager. To view network load, do the following:

Call the task manager using the combination Ctrl keys+ Shift + Esc . Go to the "Processes" tab and click on "Network" to organize the list as you use the Internet.

At the top of the list will be all processes that somehow use the network for their work. If yours is slow home Internet, then close some of them. You can view more information about network load in the “Performance” tab. At the bottom of the window, click on the “Open Resource Monitor” button.

The “Network” tab contains all processes related to working on the Internet. You can close them using RMB and the “End Process” button.

After a reboot, the computer will again use these processes, so it will not be possible to completely get rid of the problem with loading the network channel. Let's move on to removing restrictions in the system.

Now let's look at the OS settings and restrictions on a laptop and PC. After Windows installations 10 by default limits the connection speed and reserves part of the channel for system purposes (updates, etc.). To optimize the Internet, you need to remove the restriction bandwidth via computer configuration. After this, the connection should stabilize and the speed should increase slightly.

To remove the restriction, follow these steps:

Open the Run window using the Start menu or Win + R keys. Next, enter the command gpedit.msc and click OK.

The local editor will appear in front of you. group policy. Go to the Computer Configuration – “Administrative Templates Network” – “QoS Packet Scheduler” branch.

On the right side of the window, find the line “Limit reserved bandwidth” and right-click. Then select “Change” from the menu.

In the window, set the “Enabled” option. In the field for changing the network bandwidth limit, set “0” and apply the changes with the “OK” button.

Now you need to check the use of the QoS scheduler by your network connection. To do this, right-click on the connection icon (1) in the tray and select “Network Center”.

Now go to the “Change adapter settings” section.

Right click on your connection and go to properties.

Check the box next to QoS Packet Scheduler and apply the changes with the “OK” button.

Ready! Optimization helped increase speed by about 10%, which was reserved by the system. If speeding up in this way helped only slightly, then move on to the next methods.

Diagnostics using standard means

You can also use the standard diagnostic wizard to check the connection. The program will scan the network and display the status and the need to correct errors.

To run the diagnostic tool, do the following:

Right-click on the tray icon and select “Diagnostics problems”.

Wait for the diagnosis to complete and look at the result.

If no problems are found, proceed to the next steps.

Program restrictions

Some of the software installed by users is connected to the network. Such programs can limit the Internet and make it extremely slow. In addition, they may have speed restrictions. To return the Internet to functionality and improve it, you need to use our advice.

The main program that most users use to speed up their connection is uTorrent. Increase Internet settings Speed is possible through settings.

Open uTorrent. Click on required download RMB and select “Reception Restriction” in the menu. In the next section, you should set the Unlimited option to speed up the torrent to its maximum.

This can be done while you are downloading a particular file or game via uTorrent. If you are very Bad Internet and the channel is not enough for all needs, then turn off some programs before the download is completed. After the torrent is downloaded, you can again launch Internet-related software (Steam, Skype, etc.). This way you will get the most from the tariff.

Browser settings and cache size

If problems arise when working in the browser (pages take a long time to load, it’s impossible to watch videos, etc.), then use special features. Let's consider enabling turbo mode in Opera, Yandex Browser and Chrome.

To set up turbo mode in Yandex Browser and Opera, use the instructions provided:

In Opera, you need to click on the browser icon on the left top corner(1), then select the button Opera Turbo (2).

In Yandex browser, go to Settings. Click on the “Show” button additional settings" In the Turbo subsection, set the position to “Always on” (1). To disable the function, move the checkbox to the “Disabled” position (2).

In this way you can limit the number multimedia files on web pages (pictures, videos) and, therefore, speed up loading of sites.

In the browser Google Chrome you need to install a separate plugin - Data Saver. It will help remove the brakes and reduce the waiting time when loading website pages. To do this, open the extension store in your browser and click the “Install” button.

Now, by clicking on the extension icon, you will receive information about the saved traffic.

If the connection continues to slow down, then proceed to the following troubleshooting methods.

Increasing the cache size for the Internet browser can lead to slowdowns. It is not recommended to allocate more than 100 MB for cache on system disk. To fix this, you need to go to your browser settings and set desired value(1) and then clear the cache with special button (2).

In this way the cache size is set to Mozilla Firefox and Opera. In Google Chrome and Yandex browser, the procedure looks different, since they are built on the same Chromium core:

Open the properties of the desktop shortcut.

In the Object field, add the command:

—disk-cache-dir=”с:\browserсache” —disk-cache-size=ххххх

where xxxxx is the desired cache number in bytes.

Virus check

Malware can also significantly affect the performance of the Internet. To increase speed, you need to scan your system for viruses and remove them. You can use third party programs or built-in Windows Defender 10. Let's scan the system for viruses using Defender:

Go to system settings via Start.

Select the "Update and Security" section.

Next, go to Windows Defender.

Click on the “Open Windows Defender Security Center” button.

Working with a router

If you have a laptop, then most likely you use Wi-Fi router ohm and wireless connection. This type of connection is unstable and the speed may drop at any time if you use Mobile Internet. If the wired provider is connected to the router, and the connection is still slow, then you need to reconfigure the device itself.

Through a Wi-Fi router you can:

change the firmware;
reconfigure the connection again.

This can be done online using a browser. Therefore, you do not need special skills or knowledge to work with iron.

All router firmwares differ in interface, but the essence remains the same. Let's look at the update using a device from ASUS as an example:

First you need to log in to your ASUS account using the device’s IP address. IN in this case this is 192.168.1.1. It must be entered into address bar browser, and then log in using the username and password that the provider gives you when concluding the contract.

Next, go to the “Administration” tab (1) and select the “Firmware Update” section (2).

If this does not help, then use the services of your provider’s wizard. It is possible that the problem lies in the router itself and it needs to be replaced with a new one.

Additional programs

The last option is to get it back fast internet- this is to use the optimizer functionality.

Some of these programs are Internet Speed Booster or cFosSpeed. You can download cFosSpeed from this link. With its help, you can optimize the Internet for games, streaming video or torrents. Install the utility and run the following actions to set priority:

Right-click on the tray icon and select “Options” - “Settings”.

In chapter " General settings» you can set automatic priority active application. When you minimize a game or program, the Internet speed will increase in other applications.

Bottom line

Each of the methods presented in the instructions can help increase Internet speed on Windows 10 in a certain situation. If all methods are ineffective, then contact your provider's support service for advice and assistance.

Video

For greater clarity, we suggest watching a video that corresponds to the topic under consideration.

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 we set the most 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 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 Auslogics program BoostSpeed. 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 view is in the window with additional parameters 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 button mice. 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.
