Network Scanning tool

[TheTwist]

Is there a tool that can be scanned through a network looking for what is causing the local network to be slow?

I know WireShark might the only one, but not completely sure what filters to add.

You should be able to narrow that down by tracing the route in CMD or PS. Lookup tracert commands

Thank you, I will look into it.  Will it find possible bottle necks?

What kind of slowness do you exactly have? Latency, bandwidth, congestion? In what scenarios? Then we can suggest where to start looking in the first place.

PRTG, it's free, but *very* complete

Look up AngryIP Scanner as well, might come in handy

I *think* glasswire also can help, but you'll want to start with PRTG

Iperf is the go-to tool for many a sysadmin for testing network-throughput.

Thank you for your messages. Please bare with me I am a Junior and still learning:

 

@jj9987 Slowness like copying files from a Local PC to a server within the same network. Although the internet connection doesn't help and the amount of people in this office. There are also a couple of mini 5 port unmanaged switches dotted around which i assume doesnt help.

 

@Radium_Angel @WereCatf Thank you for that i will have a good

Okay, that helps a bit. What kind of speeds are you getting? What switches are these? What is the link speed of the PC and of the server? What server is it, what kind of storage it has? 

 

Also, quote my post if replying to me. Then I'll get a notification, mentioning apparently didn't trigger it.

Ethernet Speed we are getting 1gbps PC out of PC. Copy and paste a 1GB file speed between 81kbps and 1.20mbps depending. Switch is a Netgear ProSAFE S3300-52X  and servers are Synology RS3617RPxs.
