How do I see the network adapter statistics in Windows 7?

I think you might be after something like the result of the netstat -s command.

It will show you statistics like this:

  Failed Connection Attempts          = 1647
  Reset Connections                   = 121

  Segments Received                   = 104462

  No Ports              = 0
  Receive Errors        = 2
  Datagrams Sent        = 338

Or if you want Layer 2 statistics, you can use netstat -e to get only those related to Ethernet:

How do I see the network adapter statistics in Windows 7 / 8 / 10?

  1. Start "Control Panel" > "Network Connections"

  2. Right click one of your network connections and select "Status"

    Windows 7, Network Connection Status

This image is from Windows 7, but the dialog is almost identical in Windows 8 and 10.
