Easy Tips to Speed Up Your Internet on Windows

If your internet has slowed down or you want to speed it up without upgrading your internet plan, there are settings you can adjust on your computer to increase the speed. These Windows settings can boost your internet speed by over 20% compared to when they are not configured. The methods and reasons for the speed improvement are as follows.

How to Remove Internet Speed Limits


How to Remove Internet Speed Limits

In the Windows operating system, only 80% of the maximum network bandwidth is used by default. The remaining 20% is reserved for background tasks such as system updates and license renewals. This is known as the QoS (Quality of Service) Packet Scheduler. When this setting is enabled, you cannot use the full bandwidth while using the internet. For example, in a network environment where you can use a maximum speed of 100Mbps, you will only be able to use 80Mbps.

By disabling this feature, you can use 100% of the bandwidth. This means you can achieve the maximum internet speed.

How to Set Up

  • Press Win + R keys, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
  • Navigate to 'Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler'.
  • Double-click 'Limit reservable bandwidth'.
  • Change the setting from 'Not Configured' to 'Enabled', and set the Bandwidth limit (%) value to 0.
  • Click 'Apply' and 'OK' to save the settings.

By doing this, you can maximize the use of your network bandwidth, potentially improving your internet speed.


How to Clear Internet Cache for Faster Speeds

When you use the internet, the DNS (Domain Name System) information of the websites you visit is stored in your computer's cache. Over time, this cache can accumulate incorrect or unnecessary data, slowing down your internet speed. By flushing the DNS cache, you can resolve these issues and speed up your internet.

How to Flush DNS Cache

  • Click the Start button, search for 'Command Prompt', and run it as an administrator.
  • Type the following command and press Enter: ipconfig /flushdns
  • Once you see a message confirming the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed, you're done.

Flushing the DNS cache allows your computer to use the most up-to-date DNS information when accessing websites, potentially improving your internet speed.

By using these two methods, you can optimize your internet speed and create a smoother browsing experience.
