While we’ve discussed speeding up SQL connections by disabling LLMNR, there’s another way to speed up your network.
If you are not using the HomeGroup feature, a quick way to speed up your network is to disable the services for HomeGroup. You can either disable both by using Services.msc or go to a command prompt as an administrator and type the following-
sc config HomeGroupProvider start= disabled
sc stop HomeGroupProvider
sc config HomeGroupListener start= disabled
sc stop HomeGroupListener
pause

Food for thought:
- Network speed IS DEPENDENT on hard drive speeds
- Network card optimization (drivers/offloading/type)
- Bus Speeds
- Memory Speeds
- Access Point/Router
