Sonicwall Global VPN Client & Windows 10 wifi bug

Sonicwall Global VPN Client & Windows 10 bug


With the GVC running, connected or not, the wifi speed is reduced, often to less than 1MB making it almost unusable.

Solution / Workaround is to disable Receive Segment Coalescing (RSC) on the wifi adapter.

Automated fix from Microsoft available here, https://aka.ms/diag_cssemerg11005

Manual fix

Open an Administrative Command Prompt
Get the network adapter name,  powershell Get-NetAdapter
Get the network adapter's RSC setting,  powershell Get-NetAdapterRsc
Disable RSC for the adapter, powershell Disable-NetAdapterRsc -Name ADAPTER-NAME
Verify RSC is disabled, powershell Get-NetAdapterRsc

  2. After nearly two years, neither SonicWALL nor Microsoft have come up with a fix for this bug.

    Microsoft recently removed the diag_cssemerg11005 fix. The manual fix is the only way to disable RSC now.
