Most modern local networks use cables, adaptors and connecting devices that can communicate at a maximum speed of 100Mbits/sec (quick enough - in theory - to move an 8Mb file from one computer to another in 1 second).

This is a high speed LAN. There is a newer standard of network which has a maximum speed of 1000Mbits/sec (x10 speed), which requires new adaptors and hardware.

How do you change LAN speed from 10mbps to 100mbps?

In order to get a higher speed from a LAN you must ensure that the cabling, all network connectivity devices (switches, etc) and NICs are capable of that higher speed. In other words, you may also have to upgrade your equipment for a higher speed.


Suppose you have a lan consisting of a 100baset hub 2 computers with 10baset nics and a computer with a 10100baset nic at what speed would this lan operate?

It will operate on the speed corresponding to the slowest element in the network (in your case).
