Download

Sharing your Internet bandwidth between several applications or between multiple connected PCs or devices, can be very frustrating at times. This is especially true if one application or device hogs most of the available bandwidth. If you have ever tried downloading something (legal content of course) as a Torrent, while at the same time trying to enjoy a HD YouTube video, you'll know that it can quite frustrating. The HD YouTube clip will take a long time to load, or worse still, it will continually lag and stutter. This happens because the Torrent download uses all of the available bandwidth, leaving insufficient bandwidth for other network and bandwidth dependant applications. The problem is network management.

In order to provide better management of your network resources, GIGABYTE has developed LAN Optimizer. GIGABYTE LAN Optimizer is designed to allow the user to manage different types of network traffic so that data streams such as HD media, web browsing or online gaming can be prioritized, taking precedence over large data downloads that tend to strangle overall network bandwidth.

GIGABYTE LAN Optimizer is a simple GUI-based, software application that works in conjunction with the Realtek 8111E and above Network Interface Controller (NIC). It's been designed to be as user friendly as possible, making intelligent network management simple to understand and implement.

GIGABYTE LAN Optimizer features several main 'Mode' options, presented in a simplified, user-friendly interface. Each 'Mode' is designed to optimize the network chip on your motherboard according to your online activity or personal preference.
