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

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.


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

It will show you statistics like this:

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