• Internet speed
• Internet connectivity (ping)
• Domain Name lookups
• Local network speeds (particularly useful for testing 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks)

The system includes a Bandwidth Monitor feature which measures Internet bandwidth usage throughout the day.

The Network Performance Monitor generates a daily PDF report containing graphs of the various test results, including indicators for Internet outages. The Bandwidth Monitor measurements are also plotted on a graph to show Internet usage patterns.

If you'd like to build a Network Performance Monitor, follow the setup and installation instructions in the Wiki

The following diagram illustrates how the system is connected to the network being monitored.

Note: the Network Performance Monitor is not a router, WiFi access point, or wireless bridge. The wireless network interfaces serve only as targets for iperf3 performance tests.
