Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent wireless internet access and Wi-Fi connection issues.
You’ve likely heard this from users: “Who’s hogging the WiFi?” They are complaining about a slow network, and to solve it you need to identify the root of the problem.
Paessler PRTG helps you determine how much bandwidth your devices and applications are using via SNMP, flow or packet sniffing.
Most bandwidth and traffic analysis solutions only check WiFi traffic on a single device. PRTG measures all the traffic in your network by monitoring the data directly on your WiFi routers.
This means you get informed about all ingoing and outgoing traffic so you can see what applications and devices are using up your WiFi bandwidth.
PRTG tracks and analyzes all the relevant data automatically at a glance. It then displays and reports data on an easy-to-read dashboard.
If there is an issue, PRTG immediately alerts you however you want via SMS, email, push notification, or other methods – even before something gets really critical.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your WiFi network and internet usage. Show network quality, bandwidth usage, data transfer speed, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot issues with speed, latency, and overall network performance.

If your network seems to be particularly slow, our WiFi usage monitoring tool helps you identify potential bandwidth overloads so you can quickly react before problems occur.
When your users complain that internal applications on mobile devices are too slow, PRTG helps you identify the user or device that’s hogging bandwidth so you can resolve it and maintain productivity (and happy users).
Backups and data synchronizations require a great deal of bandwidth. When done on mobile devices, this can become an even bigger problem. PRTG quickly alerts you to these issues so you can avoid malfunctions in backups.
PRTG helps you avoid bottlenecks due to large file transfers and the inevitable network slowdown. Keep things flowing smoothly with PRTG WiFi data usage monitoring.
Real-time notifications mean faster troubleshooting so that you can act before more serious issues occur.
Use PRTG to monitor WiFi usage, network traffic, applications, bandwidth, network activity, cloud services, databases, virtual environments, availability & uptime, ports, hardware status, network security, web services, and much more.

WiFi, which stands for Wireless Fidelity, is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a network, typically the internet, without the need for physical wired connections. It uses radio waves to provide high-speed internet and network connections to devices within a certain range.
WiFi usage refers to the way individuals or devices use wireless internet connections provided by WiFi networks. Here's a breakdown of what WiFi usage encompasses:
Common metrics for measuring Wi Fi usage include the following:
WiFi usage monitoring can identify users or devices that use a lot of bandwidth to help optimize performance of a network. Many businesses allow employees to bring their own devices to work. This can create issues, as tablets, smartphones and other mobile devices must be granted access to the WiFi network. Furthermore, laptops are often used for presentations in conference rooms and likewise require a WiFi Internet connection. As a result, WiFi usage monitoring quickly becomes an important issue for administrators who want to optimize performance of the network. You can also use Wi-Fi monitoring to determine if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) delivers the bandwidth they promise.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
