If you’re looking to optimize your internet speed using the Windows Command
Prompt (CMD), here are some useful tricks:

1. Check Internet Speed Using CMD:


o You can assess your internet connection speed by sending ping packets to your
default gateway. To find your default gateway, use the ipconfig /all
command.
o Once you have the IP address of your default gateway, run a continuous ping
by typing: ping -t <your default gateway address>.
o The time field value will indicate how long it takes to receive an
acknowledgment from the gateway. Lower values suggest a faster network.
o Note that running excessive pings consumes network bandwidth and gateway
resources.
2. Release and Renew IP Addresses:
o If you’re on a WiFi connection, try typing ipconfig /release followed by
ipconfig /renew.
o This may provide a temporary speed boost.
3. Flush DNS Cache:
o Our computers maintain a list of frequently accessed websites and their
corresponding IP addresses in the DNS resolver cache.
o Use the ipconfig /flushdns command to clear obsolete data and make new
entries in the cache.
o Initially, you might experience slower connections due to new DNS lookups,
but websites should load faster afterward.
4. Speed Up Internet Using CMD ‘Netsh int tcp’ Command:
o Type the following command in your Command Prompt window:
o netsh int tcp show global
o Observe the output. If the “Receive Window Autotuning level” is not set to
“Normal,” you can adjust it using:
o netsh int tcp set global autotuning=normal

Remember that these commands can help optimize your internet speed, but results may vary
based on your specific network setup. Feel free to experiment and see what works best for

you! 🚀🌐
