Description
When the connection suddenly slows down and you wonder whether some program is eating the bandwidth, the only way is to open Task Manager or Resource Monitor and dig through it. Network Monitor II is a small gadget that stays on the desktop: upload and download speed plus a live graph sit in plain view, so one glance tells you how busy the network is.
It does more than show speed. Internal and external IP, a country flag, DNS details and the connection type, wired or wireless, share one panel, and on Wi-Fi it also shows the network name, signal strength and whether the connection is secure. You can run several instances to watch different adapters, change the colors and size to taste, and it works right after you unpack the download.
Live upload and download speed: current rates appear as numbers and progress bars, with a graph beside them tracing the recent ups and downs
Peaks and running totals: the panel shows speed peaks, plus upload and download volume for the current session and in total
Network info at a glance: internal IP, external IP with its country flag and DNS details, where the external IP can be refreshed or copied in one click and IPv6 connections can be viewed when needed
Wireless status: on Wi-Fi it shows the network name, signal strength and whether the link is secure, and the icon tells wired from wireless
Disconnect sound: it can play a sound when the connection drops, so you do not have to keep watching the desktop
Multiple instances and appearance: run several gadgets at once, change colors and size, and adjust the bandwidth scale to match your line
