I need to check network speed of a link between my PC and a server. I cant use any 3rd party tool like Iperf etc. Is there any way I can calculate network speed using any command on cmd?

What I have tried:

cant use -

wmic NIC where NetEnabled=true get Name, Speed

since gives you link speed but available bandwidth could be less.

I need something like iperf but i cant use 3rd party software .

Windows doesn't have any utilities to give you this information since it is unattainable. There are simply too many variables to eliminate between the machine and the server that can affect the bandwidth of the route.

The target server would have to be specifically setup to run a test like this. The iPerf tool cannot work without a test server to run against to transfer data to/from. There is no way to measure link performance along a route without one.

The wmic command only interrogates the WMI database on the machine. At best, you get the link speed of the NIC, NOT how much bandwidth is available to any destination server.
