2. Windows Settings: Click on the Windows Start button and then click on the gear icon to open the Settings. Click on “Network & Internet” and then select “Status” on the left-hand side. Under “View your network properties,” you’ll see the current network speed.
3. Command Prompt: Open the Command Prompt by pressing the Windows key + R and typing cmd. Once the Command Prompt is open, type “ipconfig /all” and press enter. Look for the “Speed” or “Link Speed” line under the “Ethernet” or “Wi-Fi” section to view the current network speed.
