Dashboard

Your at-a-glance view of WiFi health across both bands.

Overview

The dashboard is the first page you see after logging in. It summarises WiFi performance across both your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands over a configurable time window — by default the last 24 hours.

Tests run automatically every 5 minutes in the background. The dashboard refreshes when you load or reload the page.

Summary stat cards

Each band has a row of six summary cards showing the average value for each metric over the selected time window.

Gateway ping
4.2 ms
Average round-trip time to your router. Also shows the number of failed pings (packet loss) in the period. Should be under 10 ms on a healthy connection.
External ping
53.5 ms
Average round-trip time to an external IP address (default: 8.8.8.8). Measures your internet connection beyond the router. Higher than gateway ping is normal.
Download
24.6 Mbps
Average download speed from automated speedtests. Reflects real-world throughput, not your plan's advertised maximum.
Upload
11.3 Mbps
Average upload speed from automated speedtests. Upload is typically lower than download on residential connections.
DNS resolve
48 ms
Average time to resolve a domain name using your DHCP-assigned DNS server. Also shows the number of failed resolutions. Should be under 100 ms.
Webpage fetch
360 ms
Average time to download a small webpage using curl. Tests the full connection stack from DNS through to data transfer.

Colour coding

Each stat card is colour-coded to help you quickly spot issues without needing to read the numbers:

Download / UploadShown in blue — no thresholds, varies by plan
💡
Colour thresholds are based on typical residential connections. If your gateway ping is consistently amber but everything feels fine, your router may just have a higher baseline latency — this is normal for some ISP-supplied routers.

Recent runs table

Below the stat cards, the Recent runs table shows the individual results from each test cycle — one row per band per run, newest at the top.

Each row shows:

⚠️
A — ms value means the test returned no result — usually because the connection dropped mid-test or speedtest was skipped. It doesn't necessarily mean the connection was down.

Triggering a test manually

Click the ▶ Run now button in the top-right corner to trigger an immediate test cycle. This runs both bands back-to-back and takes about 60–90 seconds to complete (longer if speedtest is enabled).

The dashboard doesn't auto-refresh — reload the page after a run to see the latest results.

Changing the time window

The Window dropdown at the top of the dashboard controls how far back the summary cards look. Options range from 1 hour to 7 days. This is useful for:
