I hate it when my home internet service slows to a crawl for no apparent reason. Is it my wifi router? Is it my service provider? If you call the ISP, they want you to take the router out of the configuration. Very annoying.
My idea is to build an Internet Speed Auditor to sit between the modem and the router that will perform:
- Inbound and outbound internet speed testing at regular intervals with data saved for reviewing with ISP technical support.
- Inbound and outbound internet speed testing through the router using a wifi connection.
- Simple web interface to download the data and some simple visualizations and, potentially, troubleshooting recommendations.
