In the lan network on the properties on the configure option there is 1 option called "Speed & Duplex" it contains 10Mbps half Duplex , 100Mbps half Duplex , 100Mbps full Duplex
So what that means ????????????????
I know what is duplex But what is happened by changing this ???????????
 
Solution
Full Duplex means it runs that amount of data both up & down. So a Full Duplex Gigabit connection is 1Gb each way at that same time.

Half Duplex would mean 1Gb one way or the other, but not both at the same time.

In general, wired is measured at Full Duplex and wireless connections are measured at Half Duplex; wired Gigabit is 1Gb both ways simultaneouslu and n300 is 300Mb but only 1 direction at a time.

Unless you are having issues with stablity or things like packet collisions then you should probably just pick the highest duplex available. Your network will automatically adjust to the slowest limiting component.
If you know what it is, then you should answer your own question.

100mbs half duplex will only run at 50mbs max, full duplex can hit 100mbs.

In reality, the network card should always auto-adjust what it needs it to be and you have no need to change it.
