note:The speed of any network connection depends on all components used in the network, which can include network interface cards, hubs, routers, switches and cables. If any one of these components cannot operate at high speed, you will have a low-speed connection. The speed of your network connection can also be affected by the total amount of traffic from other devices on the network.
