Do You Know How to Monitor Your Internet Bandwidth ?

You might already know what an Internet monitor bandwidth tool can do for you and your personal computer, however do you know how to install it and how to use it later on? In case you are one of the many people curios on how to use such a beneficial program, you have surely reached the correct reading material, as I am going to tell you, today, what are some of the main steps you have to follow when installing and using a free Internet bandwidth monitor, downloaded from the Internet.

 

First of all, before you start doing anything, you must download the software from a web page. Make sure that the software you are going to download is going to match your operating platform and, in this way, you can make sure the installation process will go smooth, with no snags. In order to measure Internet bandwidth, you must first have the correct program for it. 

 

After you have downloaded the monitoring tool, you simply install the program on your personal computer, clicking “next” until the program has been fully installed. This is where the tricky part comes, as you are going to have to work on the settings, to be sure that you are going to see all the valid information regarding the Internet speed of your connection. 

 

Therefore, you go to the setting menu and click disabled on all the options you have there. This will leave your monitoring tool with no weapons and it is your duty now to equip your tool. You enable the following options in the settings menu: Auto Start, so that the program will start up at the same time as your personal computer, Auto Minimize so that the program will step out of sight, unless you want to see it again, and, of course, enable saving all these options.

 

You will very likely want to keep some special settings such as Local Machine enabling, the Incoming Data page, Incoming Totals, Outgoing Data and Outgoing Totals enabled. The Remote Machine, System Threads and CPU Usage can all be disabled as they are not key to finding out the correct Internet bandwidth.

 

After you have taken care of all these settings, all you have to do is simply click on the “check speed” or “test” button, depending on the type of program you use and, in such manner, you are going to have in front of you a graphical representation of the speeds your machine achieves. This is pretty much it and I do believe it is a simple task, at the end of the day. For more info, check http://internetbandwidthmonitor.net/
