Frequently asked questions
Downloads and security
Where can I download NetSpeedDisplay?
From the official Download page, which links only to the configured official release source. Release links are still being finalized.
How can I verify a downloaded package?
When an official SHA-256 checksum is published, compare it with your file's checksum using PowerShell's Get-FileHash command.
How can I report a security issue?
Email [email protected] with “Security” in the subject. The security page lists what to include.
Compatibility
Does NetSpeedDisplay support Windows 11?
Windows 11 is the primary target audience. Verified results appear on the compatibility page as they are confirmed.
Can I run it without administrator rights?
The supplied specification says the Lite edition runs as a standard user and hardware monitoring in the Standard edition may need administrator rights. This is pending verification.
Features
Does NetSpeedDisplay replace an internet speed test?
No. A traffic monitor shows data your PC is sending and receiving right now. A speed test measures the most your connection can deliver.
Can I select a network adapter?
Adapter selection is part of the supplied feature list; see the network adapters documentation.
Troubleshooting
Why is the displayed speed zero?
Usually the wrong adapter is selected, or nothing is transferring data at that moment.
