Argon Network Switcher

Argon Network Switcher is a software tool whose purpose is to aid people in viewing details pertaining to network cards and managing their configurations.

The installation process does not last very long and it does not offer to download any third-party products, while the interface you come by encompasses a design which can only be described as well-organized and simple. It consists of a tabbed ribbon, a quick access toolbar, a pane in which to list all created profiles and another one to display selected information. Moreover, you can place it in the system tray with just a click of the button, thus rendering it non-obtrusive.

It becomes quite clear that all user categories can learn how to handle it with great ease, regardless of their previous experience with computers.

This program enables you view a list of all detected network adapters, as well as bring up further information pertaining to them, such as name, description, type, MAC and IP address, status, subnet mask and gateway. It is also possible to disable these cards, as well as enable them or refresh the data.

Multiple tabs can be opened, thus enabling you to multi-task with ease, while an unlimited number of profiles can be created, by inputting a large number of details. To be more accurate, you have to provide a name, select the network card you want to use, input IP and DNS configurations or enable DHCP and set up proxy settings.

In addition to that, it is possible to create, test and mount drive maps, change the default printer, view disabled adapters and running services, as well as specify which apps to wait to finish or kill when a profile is activated.

In conclusion, Argon Network Switcher is an efficient network configuration switcher, which is dedicated to both power and novice users. It does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, as the CPU and memory usage is low, regardless of the process under way. All jobs are completed in due time, the number of configurations available is impressive and we did not detect any errors or crashes in our tests.
