Reliable WiFi connectivity is crucial for productivity and user experience. However, home and small-office networks can utilize a cloud-based monitoring system to establish easier monitoring instead of device access, unreliable bandwidth, high latency, and available monitoring tools. The purpose of this project is to create a cloud-based WiFi network monitoring system that utilizes a Raspberry Pi as the monitoring point. The monitoring system collects data that tracking real-time metrics such as upload/download speed and latency, then saves those metrics to InfluxDB Cloud, which are visualized in Grafana Cloud dashboards. The intuitiveness of the system is enhanced by having Telegram bots as additional notification mechanisms when a device surpasses thresholds or is an unauthorized device. The testing showed the system was able to scan devices accurately, performed reliable WiFi monitoring, and delivered notifications instantly. The project successfully demonstrated a system that is low cost, portable, easy to use, and still performs in a monitoring system, allowing users the ability to still enjoy a monitoring system in environments the enterprise would not find suited.
