How to See Network Adapter Speed in Windows 10
A network adapter is the component of a PC's internal hardware that is used for communicating over a network with another computer and Internet.
Sometimes you may need to check to see what the current maximum speed is for your network adapters to see if they are performing at specs. This can be helpful with troubleshooting network performance issues.
This tutorial will show you how to check the current maximum speed of your network adapters in Windows 10.

Code:
get-wmiobject Win32_NetworkAdapter | foreach-object {get-wmiobject -namespace root/WMI -class MSNdis_LinkSpeed -filter "InstanceName='$($_.Name)'"} | select InstanceName,NdisLinkSpeed,Active
3. You will now see the current maximum speed for all of your network adapters.

Starting with version 1709, in Option One, Step 1 a right-click on the network icon no longer says Open Network and Sharing Center. It now says Open Network Internet settings, taking you to the Settings app instead. There is a link to the Network and Sharing Center near the bottom of that Settings app page.
