Asked By TechyNinja42 On

I'm trying to disable Large Send Offload (LSO) on my Wi-Fi router using PowerShell, but I'm new to it and could use some guidance. I've attempted using the command `Disable-NetAdapterLso -Name "(the name of my wifi)"`, but I keep getting an error that says no objects are found with that name. This makes me think I might have the Wi-Fi adapter's name wrong. How can I find the correct name for it? Or am I going about this the wrong way? Thanks for any help!

A quick way to find your Wi-Fi adapter's correct name is to use `Get-NetAdapter`. Use the name you see from that command when trying to disable LSO. For example, if your adapter's name is "Wi-Fi", you would run `Disable-NetAdapterLso -Name "Wi-Fi"`. Make sure you get the name exactly right!

Powershell works with objects, so first verify your Wi-Fi adapter's information. Run `get-netadapter` and see what comes up. Then test with `Get-NetAdapterLso -Name "your adapter name"`. If that works, you can proceed with `Disable-NetAdapterLso -Name "your adapter name"` to disable LSO. Just be certain you're using the actual adapter name and not the Wi-Fi network name.

If you're looking to disable it across your computer, you can also use the command: `netsh int tcp set global large send offload=disabled`. This globally disables it for all adapters if that's what you're aiming for!

What Wi-Fi network interface card (NIC) are you using? Some models, like my Intel Wi-Fi card, might not even support LSO, so it's good to check that first!

It sounds like you might want to start by running `Get-NetAdapterLso` to see if your Wi-Fi adapter is listed. Sometimes it won't show up if LSO isn't enabled on it. If you only see Ethernet adapters, it might be worth checking if your Wi-Fi adapter supports LSO at all. What's the specific issue you're trying to solve?
