Neostarchild Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hello, I've recently upgraded my old ADSL 6Mbps connections to our towns new optic 150Mbps (168Mbps measured). On my sensor panel the Connections Speed was measured at 7.8 Mbps when I was on DSL but now it doesn't change to reflect the new connection speed. The Graphs I use to measure upload and download work (wish I could measure in MB/s instead of KB/s but I know that's coded and can't be changed) Not sure if it is something I need to change somewhere or is this just a bug. I'm running version 5.75.3940 beta. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Have you tried to check whether the correct NIC is used for your graphs? In many cases there are multiple network interfaces/adapters present in the system, and maybe your graph is configured for the wrong interface. BTW, you can switch the NIC download/upload rates to MB/s or Mbps by simply specifying that as the measurement unit for your sensor item. That's a trick that we've introduced a year ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neostarchild Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hello Neat tricks with the values I have only NIC1 Graphs are no problem. The "NIC1 Connection Speed" stays at 7.8Mbps or if I change to Gbps changes to 1000Gbps. Maybe I'm not getting what this sensor measures or its intended use. I am using an MSI Z170A Gaming M5 Mainboard that has the Killer Ethernet E2200 with up to date drivers. Let me know if you need any other info. Thank You.

It shows 100 Mbps for a 100 Mbps LAN connection, 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) for a gigabit LAN connection, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a trick that we've introduced a year ago my observations : 1, NIC identity changes upon system restart, rendering sensor panel defunct, and must be edited to the new NIC. 2, Mbps defaults back to MB upon editing the sensor/graph/gauge in any way. it is very annoying to keep aida64 sensor panel working normally, requires more maintenance than my wife. according to AIDA64, apparently today i dont have an internet connection at all (none of the 4 NICs are responding to network activity) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can appear and disappear, their order can change dynamically, virtual NICs here and there, etc. etc. With such a dynamic scenario anything you configure as a fixed setting can change on-the-fly. I'm not sure how could AIDA64 follow that automatically... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paidcritic Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Looking at my network hardware, the Wi-Fi NIC is named WiFi .. but I do not have an option in the sensor panel to select. Is there a way to dynamically select the 'connected' network adapter for the panel? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudBasedMe Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 it would be useful if the Windows network page can display which NIC # is a specific connection using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebeefhash Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 You guys could create profiles for each NIC. My computer only connects to NIC2 and NIC3 so I created two different profiles so I don't have to edit anything. No one should be editing the NIC each time they restart their computer, simply create a profile and label it the correct NIC port. You just load each profile until you see you have the right one. It's not a fix, but it's such an easy workaround that I'm fine with it. Say you have a profile named Total Monitor.sensorpanel Check what NIC it's connected to, save the profile with the name Total Monitor NIC2.sensorpanel or whatever NIC port it is. Like I said, I only need two different profiles for each one. Some of you might need 4 but they take up such little space and if you store each profile in a separate folder you can keep things nice and tidy. At the maximum it'll look like this. Total Monitor NIC1.sensorpanel Total Monitor NIC2.sensorpanel Total Monitor NIC3.sensorpanel Total Monitor NIC4.sensorpanel Simply go down the line importing them until you see the network speed is showing, boom, done. No more editing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
