Network performance tweaking is based on a lot of factors and cannot be resolved by asking a one-line qts. in short, there are a lot of factors that would govern a speed change in your LAN.

I'll give you a general idea though. If, for instance, your LAN consists of a server and 2 host systems connected through a switch, the NIC's on the three systems and the switch will need to be upgraded to support Giga-bit LAN speeds. Then comes the cabling, which needs to be Cat-5, or preferably Cat-5e.

Another important mention is that, even after the above modifications to your LAN set-up, you shall only see a theoretical 1gbps transfer rate, the actual rate is significantly affected by each and every component attached, including the 2 hosts ans the server. Then there is attenuation, noise, etc.

This is a description in a nutshell. if you did not understand it, by all means i would encourage you to research into it, but if you are not confident enough, then networking is a (black-)art best left to experts!

Which speed in internet is faster 100mbps or 1gb?

Well, 1000Mbps equates to 1Gbps. So your answer is the 1Gbps, which is incredibly fast.


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.


Do you need a special modem or LAN cable to have 1gbps speed?

yes , indeed.Standard cable have 100 mbs speed so you need a special one as well as an one gbps ethernet card


How does the speed of 802.11n compare to gigabit Ethernet?

802.11n is rated for a maximum bandwidth of 135Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet (as the name implies) is rated for 1Gbps (or 1000Mbps).


Advantages and Disadvantages of Network HUB?

The Disadvantages of Hub are as follow 1.It is very and its speed is only 10mbps 2.It is Half Duplex device. 3.It make lot of Colusion.


You notice that the network card has the capability to run on both 10Mbps networks and 100Mbps networks What must be done to allow this card to run on one network type or the other?

By definition nothing, the card should automatically detect which type of connection it has, but it should be noted that the other hardware that makes up the network needs to be able to operate at the speed that you want. That is if some component that makes up the connection between your computer and the one you are communicating with is at the 10mbps speed then the whole connection will be running at that speed.


Which cable connector is used in a 1000BaseT network?

Define Change in speed?

change in speed is acceleration. change in speed is the slope of the speed versus time graph, or the derivative of such.

A: YES it will however the most reasonable solution would be to keep frequency fix and change the duty cycle


Does motion occur when there is a change in speed?

Motion occurs when there is speed. A change of speed is not required.


What is change in speed?

Change in speed (more precisely change in velocity) is called acceleration.
