Neto Collector

Aggregate WiFi data from multiple Neto Pis into a single central dashboard. See all your devices, their speeds, ping results, and health status in one place.

What the collector does

Two ways to run a collector

Choose the option that suits your environment:

🍓
Built-in

Raspberry Pi

Turn any existing Neto Pi into a mini collector for up to 3 devices total. No extra hardware needed — just enable it in Settings.

  • Same Pi image — no reinstall
  • Toggle on/off in Settings
  • Max 3 Pis (including itself)
  • Requires ethernet connection

Installing on Ubuntu

Requirements: Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, or 24.04. Python 3 is installed automatically.
1

Download and extract

Download the collector zip and extract it on your Ubuntu machine.

2

Run the installer

One command installs dependencies, creates the service, and starts the dashboard.

3

Configure each Pi

Open Settings on each Neto Pi, enter the collector URL and API key shown at the end of the install.

# On your Ubuntu machine
wget https://updates.neto.network/collector/neto-collector.zip
unzip neto-collector.zip
cd neto-collector
sudo bash install.sh

The installer will print the dashboard URL, login credentials, and the API key to enter on each Pi.

Enabling on a Neto Pi

Any Pi running Neto can act as a collector for up to 2 other Pis (3 devices total including itself).

Important: The collector Pi must have an ethernet cable connected. Its WiFi interface is used for monitoring and will disconnect during tests — ethernet keeps the collector reachable.
1

Enable collector mode

On the Pi you want to use as the collector, go to Settings → Central collector and click Enable collector mode. Requires a valid licence.

2

Copy the connection details

The Settings page will show a Collector URL and API key. The URL uses the Pi's ethernet IP — copy both.

3

Configure other Pis

On each other Neto Pi, go to Settings → Central collector and paste the URL and API key. Save settings.

4

View the dashboard

Open http://<collector-pi-ip>:8080/collector to see all connected devices.
