Apple Broadband Tuner enhances internet speed by increasing TCP send and receive buffers.
One of the most helpful features of this software is the optional uninstaller. If you ever want to revert back to the original settings, this tool helps you restore them with ease.
The installer also increases the default values for the size of the TCP send and receive buffers. This means that larger amounts of data can be transmitted at once, resulting in faster speeds. Additionally, a startup configuration file is updated to ensure these changes persist across restarts.
The system parameters set by the Broadband Tuner include:
- net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
- net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
- kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 512000
It is worth noting that this change has a system-wide effect and is applied to all types of network connections, except for modem connections. The Broadband Tuner supports English language and requires only a broadband internet connection to run.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Broadband Tuner to anyone looking to improve their internet connection speed and performance. It is an easy-to-use software that provides noticeable improvements without any complicated setup.
