Hi , we are producing an application to test our servers. Hping3 is an application that we are running, however we have a problem while processing this tool at WSL (Windows subsystem for linux) , there is no problem to see actual bandwidth which is produced by hping but this power is looking so low at Windows Wi-Fi network interface. How can we solve this problem. Could you please help us if you have an idea on it ?

    Hello Caner TOPAÇ,

    Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.

    To resolve this issue, follow the following steps:

    1. Locate the resolv.conf file by running the following command:

    sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

    You will see the following in the file:

    This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, add the following entry to /etc/resolv.conf

    [network]

    generateResolvConf = false

    nameserver xxx.xx.xx

    1. Change the nameserver value to 8.8.8.8 and save the file. You should now have a faster connection.
