can we get data (not raw data)on download speed upload speed using wmic

Whatever be the speed of test sites or your ISP, is it not the network adapter which is mainly responsible for your internet speed? This speed is captured by wmi, and this speed is the actual download speed, I suppose. I may be wrong .
May I ask you why you have not used wmi.
The main bottleneck in your upload/download speed is going to be your ISP and the infrastructure in your area. You seem to be referring to the link speed of your network adapter shown in Windows which indicates what speed your network adapter is able to achieve between devices in your LAN.

The script does use WMI, you have to create a custom class and namespace for it since there is no predefined WMI object for a speed test.
 
Hi, xblue, thanks for your tips.
would you help me on this line

I only access the wmi thro wmiexplorer software.
How do you add lines to that effect in the script.
should the script be changed .
But I do find the correct speed on the top of the desktop, if i execute the script.
 
You only need to amend the lines which I highlighted in red in my previous post. If you aren't comfortable with using Powershell and WMI programmatically, then I would suggest that you use one of the online speed testing sites. Your Internet speed is going to vary between sites due to a number of factors such as ping and how they've written the test.
 
Hi, xblue , thanks for the tips. Can I just copy those addresses in the script and run in powershell
what should I enter in custom class and custom namespace.
I am trying , since I do not the terminology, I am asking queries.
where the download and upload speed would be showing if i run the script.
please know that it is not written by me. I just got it from a friend like you
 
what should I enter in custom class and custom namespace.
You should be able to simply write anything as I mentioned.

Which addresses are you referring to? The CDN and S3 bucket endpoint? You'll need to create an endpoint to use or use any public server endpoint which you can upload to.

where the download and upload speed would be showing if i run the script.
They'll be stored in the WMI object which you'll need to query afterwards.

please know that it is not written by me.
What isn't written by you? I'm getting rather confused now.
