Three steps, then it runs itself

No coding, no command line. Neto is designed to be set up by anyone.

💿
1

Download & flash

Download the Neto disk image and write it to a microSD card using Raspberry Pi Imager or balenaEtcher. Takes about 5 minutes.

🔌
2

Power on your Pi

Insert the SD card and plug in your Raspberry Pi. Neto boots automatically and creates a setup hotspot if no ethernet is connected.

🌐
3

Open your browser

Visit neto.local:8080 from any device on your network. The setup wizard walks you through entering your WiFi details — done in under 2 minutes.

Everything you need to understand your WiFi

Neto runs a comprehensive set of tests every 5 minutes on both your 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

📡

Dual-band monitoring

Tests both your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands independently, so you can see exactly how each performs at any time of day.

📈

Speed testing

Automated speedtests measure real-world download and upload throughput — not just what your router says the connection is.

⏱

Latency & packet loss

Pings your gateway and an external IP every cycle to track latency and packet loss over time — instantly revealing intermittent issues.

🔍

DNS resolution testing

Tests your DNS server's response time on every cycle, catching slow or failing DNS before it impacts your browsing experience.

📻

Spectrum analyser

Scans nearby WiFi networks, maps them to their channels, and warns you about channel interference and congestion in your area.

📊

Time-series graphs

Every metric is graphed over time — from 1 hour to 7 days — making it easy to spot patterns, peak-hour slowdowns, and overnight issues.

🖥

Pi system monitoring

Tracks CPU usage, memory, disk space, and temperature on the Pi itself, so you always know your monitor is healthy.

🔄

Automatic updates

Neto checks for and installs updates automatically. No manual downloads or SD card reflashing — ever.

🔒

Fully local

All data stays on your Pi. Nothing is sent to the cloud except licence validation. Your network data is yours, always.

A client-side view of your connection

Unlike your router's stats, Neto tests from the client side — the same perspective your devices have. That means real-world results that reflect what your family actually experiences.

🏠

Gateway ping

Latency and packet loss to your router — the foundation of a healthy connection.

🌍

External ping

Round-trip time to an external IP to test your internet connection beyond the router.

⚡

Download & upload

Real-world speed via speedtest — separate results for each band.

🔤

DNS response

Resolution time using your DHCP-assigned DNS server.

🌐

Webpage fetch

Time to download a real webpage — testing the full connection stack.

📻

Channel scan

Nearby networks, signal strengths, and channel interference warnings.

Common questions

Do I need any technical knowledge to set up Neto?

No. The entire setup is done through your web browser using a guided wizard. If you can write a file to an SD card, you can set up Neto.

Does Neto send my data to the cloud?

No. All monitoring data is stored locally on your Raspberry Pi. The only outbound connections are speedtest traffic, DNS tests, your network ping tests, and licence validation.

Can I use one licence on multiple Pi devices?

Each licence is for one Pi at a time. You can transfer a licence to a different Pi by deactivating it from the Licence page — no support needed.

What happens when my trial expires?

The dashboard becomes read-only — you can still view your historical data. Purchase any plan from the Licence page to restore full access immediately.

Does Neto work with my ISP's router?

Yes — Neto works with any standard WiFi router or access point. It connects to your network just like any other device would.

How does Neto monitor both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands?

Neto connects to your 2.4 GHz network, runs a full test suite, then reconnects to 5 GHz and runs the same tests — back to back, every 5 minutes.

Can I access the dashboard remotely?

The dashboard is accessible from any device on your local network. Remote access requires setting up a VPN or port forwarding on your router — Neto doesn't configure this automatically.

How do updates work?

Neto checks for updates automatically and installs them in the background. You'll see a notification on the Update page when a new version is available, or you can set it to auto-install.
