Which tools track your network for performance issues?
I've noticed my router's performance has dropped recently, speeds dropping from around 50mb/s to over 1mb/s. After trying various troubleshooting steps, the best solution seems to be using the setup wizard on the router page (192.168.1.1) to disconnect from WAN and reconnect, though speed often returns quickly. The ISP mentioned potential maintenance issues or network problems on their side. Could there be software or hardware options to monitor the network and identify devices causing the slowdown? Thanks for your help!
It seems the router might be faulty or outdated. Try linking a PC directly to the router to test performance; if it works, the issue likely isn't with your internet service provider.
Even with a software tool, it would only display what’s happening on the PC you’re using. It wouldn’t understand what devices on your network are doing. Ideally, the router should have this capability, but most affordable ISP routers lack advanced features. The top free router software that offers this is pfSense, though I doubt you’d want to use it. * How do you connect to the internet? * Try Ethernet * When the internet is slow, disconnect each device on your network one by one until the connection improves.
