gateway-monitor

A diagnostic monitoring tool that collects metrics about a home internet gateway's performance. Useful for measuring internet speed over time, detecting performance degradation, being notified of early signs of service outages, etc.

Statistics Reported

• Gateway Signal Strenth (dBm - decibels relative to a milliwatt)
• Download Speed (Mbps)
• Upload Speed (Mbps)
• Packet Loss/Error Rate (% of packets transmitted & received)
• Round-trip packet traversal time (ms) min/avg/max/stddev
• Jitter (average ms) - the variability in the latency of packets over a gateway network

Supported Operating Systems

macOS, Linux
