NetIO-GUI Portable

NetIO-GUI Portable is a software program which provides users with a simple means of measuring the network speed between two peers.

Since this is the portable counterpart of NetIO-GUI, you can skip the installation process. As a result, the Windows registry and hard drive are not going to be updated with new entries, and no leftovers will remain on the disk after its removal.

You should also keep in mind that using it on any PC you have access to is possible by simply copying the program files to a removable data unit, such as a pen drive, and click the executable.

This application lets you check the performance of your network by simply inputting the IP address of your remote peer. In addition to that, you can run it in two modes, namely a client and server one, while it is also possible to input the protocol (TCP or UDP) and port, and select the measurement units you want to use.

Results are going to be displayed gradually, as tests are being performed, and they can be saved to the hard drive as a TXT or bring up the results database in another window. Last but not least, you can add firewall exceptions for the utility, so as to be sure you are not going to have issues.

CPU and memory usage is low at all times, while the response time is quite good and the interface is friendly to all user categories. Moreover, our tests did not reveal any kind of errors, crashes, hangs, freezes or bugs.

Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say NetIO-GUI Portable is a pretty efficient piece of software for testing your network speed between two peers.
