Need to check the link speed of a network adapter - for confirming a Gigabit connection, troubleshooting a slow network, or hardware inventory? This one-liner pulls it straight from the system.

Prerequisites:

- Privileges: None
- Module: Built-in, no import needed

Quick Command:

```powershell
Get-NetAdapter | Select-Object Name, LinkSpeed
```

Example Output:

```powershell
Name                       LinkSpeed
----                       ---------
Bluetooth Network Conn.    3 Mbps
Wi-Fi                      0 bps
Ethernet                   1 Gbps
```

How It Works:

- Get-NetAdapter returns every network adapter recognized by the system, alongside its current link speed.
- LinkSpeed shows the negotiated connection speed in a readable format - already converted to Mbps/Gbps rather than a raw number.
- An adapter showing 0 bps (like Wi-Fi here) typically means it's disconnected or inactive - the machine is using a different adapter (Ethernet) for its actual connection.
