Network speed shows wrong speed when cabled

Post by nuclearwaste »

Hi guys, I'm not a expert on rainmeter, but managed to scrap some skins and edited them to my taste.

I have network speed measure configured with "update=1000" and "interface=best". The thing is that when I'm connected to a cable it starts showing around 1,4 Mbps, after refreshing it shows around 700 kbps. In window's task manager it doesn't show traffic at all (Except a casual kb or two).

This doesn't seem to happen all the time, but when the cable is disconnected and wifi is on it always shows the normal traffic (It reaches 0).

I have a realtek network integrated board on a laptop with win 10 and updated rainmeter.

Can you post your skin so we can look at it.

Update: Happens when I have my TV setup box on. Which is connected to the same router.
That makes me wonder if there's any possibility of watching TV on my pc.

EDIT: Is there any way to filter this out? I can trace the IP for example.

EDIT2: I also noticed that when rainmeter starts it shows double the network bandwidth than what's really being used. When I refresh the skin it displays the correct data.

Can you post the code of you skin? A little hard to help from just a screen shot.
