On the Advanced tab, Look for energy-saving options and make the appropriate changes you want.īelow is a description of these options and what they do. Right-click the network adapter you want, and then click Properties.

These settings are associated with the network adapter hardware There are a variety of settings which may be available for your PC's network adapter that can improve throughput performance. Here's a section when followed worked (for me) comments welcome. In looking at the advanced settings, there are many settings to change but which one or more combo works to an optimum?Ī little searching, and I followed this page's advice and the stuttering disappeared, copying was a lot faster, and I noted the other day, using a really old SACD_EXTRACT files when ripping SACDs, copying rates were 2MB/s were possible, before they were about the 1MB/s. In some cases Roon was starting to fluff and stall on DSD256 files, the machines themselves are quite capable of processing, so perhaps the NICs weren't tuned properly. This is because interrupt moderation will delay a few requests and then send them all at once thus saving cpu, while disabling it will send 1 response for every packet which is more cpu intensive but faster because there's no waiting.Usually, I leave the settings alone for the Network Adaptors in Windows, but kludge and 'slow' copying speeds between machines across the network caused me to have a look at this again. I recommend leaving it to Enabled, this also helps when playing games where you need all your cpu. Last but not least, if you see something called Interrupt Moderation, setting to enabled will lower cpu usage at the cost (but often not) of some speed loss or a small increase in latency, disabling it will use more cpu and your connection will be the fastest.

Click to expand.you don't need Flow Control unless you have 2 or more routers connected to each other in order to control the flow and prevent choking, if you're just using your router to surf the net, disable it, TCP will take care of congestion, flow control might get in the way and cause lost packets so its best disabled.Īutonegotiation is your best bet, but occasionally its good to set it to 100mb full duplex manually just in case.
