NetStress

NetStress is a handy network utility that helps you test the speed of your Internet connections, whether you're using Wi-Fi or a wired setup. It’s especially useful for folks like network admins or gamers who want to get the most out of their connections.

Easy Installation and Setup

Getting started with NetStress is a breeze! After a quick and simple installation, you just need to pick the network interface you want to test. You’ll see details like the adapter name, description, MAC address, and IP address for each local connection. Plus, if you’ve used it before, you can easily apply your settings from last time!

Real-Time Data Monitoring

The main screen shows cool graphs that track your TCP and UDP throughput over time. This way, you can see how much data you've sent and received in real-time!

Detailed Metrics at Your Fingertips

You can also check out averages and standard deviations of your data speed. Want to know about local and remote receiver IPs? It’s all there! You can set the maximum transmission unit (MTU) anywhere between 500 and 2000 bytes and even choose how you'd like to see the data displayed (like Kbps or packets per second). One downside? You can't log this activity to a file.

Light on Resources

No one likes software that slows down their computer! Luckily, NetStress uses very little CPU and memory. That means it won’t bog down your system. It responds quickly while running smoothly without causing crashes or annoying error messages.

A Reliable Benchmark Tool

While it doesn’t offer tons of features, NetStress stands out as a reliable tool for benchmarking network connections. If you're looking for something straightforward that gets the job done without fussing around with complex options, this might be just what you need!
