Win32_NetworkAdapter Speed

Question

Hello gurus

I'm using Win32_NetworkAdapter and am having trouble showing uint64 Speed to the user in my app.

Need to convert the long bits per second to MegaBit or Gigabit according to the Speed value.

Running the code on my system, I've got these numbers:

9223372036854775807 for Intel Lan

144400000 for Qualcomm WiFi

1000000000 for Private Network

How's the formula and is there some built-in .NET function to east the conversion?

For size, I'd use this, but for bits per second, no idea how to match it to cover all possible values, any help is highly appreciated:

Select Case MySize
    Case 0 To 1023
        Return MySize.ToString + " Bytes"
    Case 1024 To 1048575
        Return (MySize \ 1024).ToString + " KB"
    Case 1048576 To 1073741823
        Return (MySize \ 1048576).ToString + " MB"
    Case 1073741824 To 1099511627775
        Return String.Format("{0:0.00}", MySize / 1073741824) + " GB"
End Select

Hi @Sani Love ,

For the speed in bits per second, you can use the following code to convert it to Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps based on the value.

    Function ConvertSpeedToReadable(speedInBitsPerSecond As ULong) As String
        Dim speed As Double = Convert.ToDouble(speedInBitsPerSecond)

        If speed < 1000000 Then
            Return $"{speed / 1000:F2} Kbps"
        ElseIf speed < 1000000000 Then
            Return $"{speed / 1000000:F2} Mbps"
        Else
            Return $"{speed / 1000000000:F2} Gbps"
        End If
    End Function

Best Regards.
