Network Adapter settings for lower ping and faster network speed / better performance

Hi, Khaled Matar

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Merry Christmas!

Coincidentally, I happened to be assigned to help you with your new post, and I'm glad I was able to do so again!You can read my response in your last post, but for your convenience I will post it again in your thread:Please note that the following settings may vary depending on your specific hardware and network environment.Network Adapter Advanced Settings Options Explained and Optimization Suggestions1. EnableEDT- Explanation: Enhances data transfer, often used to improve transfer efficiency.- Optimization advice: On (value set to 1). Enabling this option can improve network transmission performance, but it may increase latency in some network environments, so it needs to be tested on a case-by-case basis.2. GPPSW- Explanation: Guess the preempted packet size weight.- Optimization Recommendation: The default setting is generally sufficient. Changing this setting has little effect on network performance.3. PowerDownPll- Explanation: Power down to save energy when specific conditions are met.- Optimization advice: Disable (value set to 0). Disabling this setting avoids the power saving mode of the network adapter and ensures maximum performance at all times.4. PPSW- Explanation: Packet prescatter weighting.- Optimization Recommendation: The default setting is generally sufficient. Changing this setting will not have a significant impact on network performance.5. HwAutoloadMedia- Explanation: Hardware autoload media setting.- Optimization advice: Disable (value set to 0). Depending on the documentation of the specific network adapter, disabling this option usually reduces network latency.6. Number of RSS Queues- Explanation: Number of scaling queues on the receiving end. Spreads network traffic across multiple CPU cores by using multiple processor queues.- Optimization advice: Set this according to the number of processor cores you have. Typically set to 2 or 4 queues to balance performance and CPU load.7. Transmit and Receive Buffers- Explanation: Transmit and receive buffer size settings.- Transmit Buffers: Controls the size of the transmit buffers.- Receive Buffers: Controls the size of the receive buffers.- Optimization advice: Increasing the buffer size can improve the efficiency of network traffic processing. It is recommended that both buffers be set to larger values. For example, it can be set to 512 or higher, but this depends on your network adapter hardware support.****8. Disable PBA- Explanation: Platform base addressing, affects memory and packet management.- Optimization advice: Enable (value set to 1). Enabling this setting can improve performance in some cases, but needs to be tested on a case-by-case basis. 9. ENPW Mode

• Explanation: Energy Efficient Network Power Management controls the power consumption mode of the network adapter.- Optimization advice: Disable (value set to 0). Disabling this option ensures that the network adapter always works in high performance mode and avoids degradation.As for the case about registry editing, usually we don't recommend users to modify the registry because it will affect the system stability, and in serious cases, it may even cause the system to crash and thus have to be repaired using other programs, so I may not be able to provide you with the relevant registry values.If you still want to ask about the registry, you can either wait for your new question to be answered or post it on Microsoft Learn, where experts will provide you with professional advice and solutions.There is a link to the forum where you can suggest specific solutions and share your ideas to help solve the problem.We hope that your issue will be handled appropriately by contacting the right department. Thank you for your understanding!
