Paessler PRTG- WiFi Monitoring with PRTG

  PAESSLER PRTG WI-FI MONITORING WITH PRTG  

FEATURES

• Real-Time Access Point & Wireless Device Tracking

• PRTG allows you to monitor access points (APs) — their online status, traffic load, connected clients, and throughput.

• Signal Strength & Performance Metrics

• You can observe metrics like signal strength, packet loss, latency, and throughput for wireless networks to diagnose weak coverage or interference.

• Alerts & Thresholds for Wireless Issues

• Set custom thresholds on wireless metrics (e.g. high packet loss, low signal) and receive notifications when the network degrades.

• Historical Trends & Visual Reports

• PRTG stores historical Wi-Fi usage and performance data, letting you analyze trends, peak times, and usage patterns across days or weeks.

• Unified Dashboard & Wireless Topology

• Combine wired and wireless monitoring in a unified dashboard. Display wireless nodes in maps, spot coverage gaps, and see relationships between APs and clients.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Monitoring Methods: SNMP polling, packet sniffing, flow sensors (where supported)

• Supported Devices: Wireless access points, routers, switches with wireless modules

• Metrics Monitored: Traffic throughput, bandwidth usage, connection counts, signal strength, client associations, packet loss, latency

• Alerts & Notification Channels: Email, SMS, push, HTTP requests, etc.

• History / Trend Storage: Custom retention periods based on sensor configuration

• Dashboard / Visualization: Maps, graphs, charts within web UI and mobile apps

• Scalability: Via multiple probes and distributed sensors (wireless sensors count toward total sensor licensing)
