- Speed up internet connection with gpedit. By default, Windows leaves 20% of the total bandwidth available to update the operating system and QoS. This makes us "only" use 80% of the total bandwidth available. Although Microsoft explained that the Limit Reservable Bandwidth does not interfere with real bandwidth, but each of us turn on the computer, then the bandwidth we will access microsoft update to search for patches or updates, which obviously suck our bandwidth. To eliminate the limit reservable bandwidth, then we can change it by:
Start -> Run -> type gpedit.msc -> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> QOS Packet Scheduler -> Limit Reservable Bandwidth -> Select Disable.
- Speed up internet connection with DNS cache. DNS Cache is storing the history or cache of the site we've ever visited, so that when we open it back no longer download from the internet, but from our internal computer which would further speed up browsing. To enable the DNS Cache, then copy the following code in notepad and save the file with a name like free dnscache.reg then run:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012d
