What is ARP Cache and when you should clear it

Clearing your ARP cache in Windows can ease the issues where webpages load slow or not at all and performance degrades while surfing/gaming etc. 

 

Let’s take a look at some of the things that can create bad ARP cache entries on Windows:

  • Network or malware attacks: Network or malware attacks can end up generating and entering incorrect cache data.
  • Network congestion: When a network is congested, your PC might run into issues while linking IP addresses to MAC addresses. This could end up creating bad cache entries.
  • Software or hardware issues: Software bugs, corrupted network drivers, or a faulty Wi-Fi router can cause bad ARP cache entries.
