The first two days of the week are usually days when our connection is sluggish, are there ways in regulating and identifying for the cause of delay? Are there also accessible software or applications – free of charge – that I can use for this?

There could be numerous causes for a slow net work. Just have a look at few of the main causes:

1. There could be low virtual memory. In order to enhance this use windows disk cleanup tool available system tools folder.

2. A low band width connection will cause low volume of data pass through over a period of time hence making the connection slow and sluggish.

Listed down below are few applications which take care of all your slow network need which are resultant to your internet provider and not because of your computer.

Capsa Network Analyzer.

Capsa is a real time portable analyzer to watch and fix the reasons why your net work is slow, It works well with 64bit editions of Windows XP, Server 2003, vista, windows 2008 and windows 7.

While applying Caspsa to your system you should keep these requirements in mind otherwise it may not give any positive results, lest it makes the network more slow.

Hi Uaskme39,

To know the reason why network is running slow you need to have a network performance monitor software that can detect your network traffic. We can find lots of open source network management tools in the net. Like Zenoss core, Hyperic, Nagios and many more. To know why the first two days of the week the network is running very slow.

The same thing happened to our network before and we found out that there are more non work related websites browsed than work related. So we tried port forwarding software to limit access of browsing non work related websites. Hope this helps.
