Let me know if you find the video above useful, or if you have suggestions to make this technique more helpful. It’s typically easy to turn off auto-speed detection on your network card and that’s often a good step to take when analyzing network problems.Ĭlick the image above for a short video showing how to turn off network auto-speed detection. (Windows Media 9 format, 379,388 bytes.) In most cases, especially on a small business or home network, you know what your network speed is and the autodetect functionality is unnecessary. It’s not as common but the detection algorithm can also be affected by the actual data going across the wire, or electrical noise. The detection mechanisms can actually conflict with each other and cause one side to get it wrong. The most common auto-detect confusion happens when the devices at both ends of a network connection are trying to auto-detect at the same time. And that can look like anything from really poor network performance to a previously working network connection suddenly dropping. That means that if the device is going to make a mistake it could happen at any time. Most will also monitor the speed continuously just in case it changes. Just how the network devices tell the difference varies from one device to the next. Most home and office networks run at either 10 or 100 megabits per second (mbs). Most contemporary network cards, hubs, and routers attempt to automatically determine the speed of each network connection. There are many possible reasons so I’ll focus a common one: confused network auto-speed detection.
