How to speed Vista Internet connection

microsoft If your Internet connection is sluggish, if your computer takes hours to connect to the WiFi router, maybe it’s about time to apply this little trick which is said to improve your Internet speed up to 40% more in some cases. The trick is quite easy to apply and it also contains the instructions to revert it, just in case something goes wrong or you don’t like it.

Click Start.
Click All Programs.
Click Accessories.
Click Command Prompt.
On Command prompt type: cd.. (press Enter). Now do it again: cd.. (press Enter).
Now type the following commands (for each command dont forget to press Enter):

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

netsh interface tcp set global chimney=disabled

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled

Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
If you want to revert everything type the following commands:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=enabled

netsh interface tcp set global chimney=enabled

netsh interface tcp set global rss=enabled

As usual reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

Hi Jessica,
The best way to speed up a Windows OS is to uninstall junk from it. Go to the section where you can uninstall programs and Windows features and uninstall the ones which are useless to you.
Another way is to empty your Internet cache and those files left by old programs. A good application for this is ccleaner
Also, visit my freeware section (http://www.webtlk.com/tag/freeware/) and look for utilities to speed up your PC.
By the way, a good trick to make your machine faster is to turn off Windows Aero theme and defrag (again, visit the freeware section) your Windows regularly.
Cheers

Hi, you need admin rights. Right click the Command Prompt icon and select Run as Administrator. After that follow the instruction above!

When I type ‘ netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=enabled’ in the command prompt and enter it, I get a “The parameter is incorrect” message. Please help. Thanks.
