As this isn't required in most cases, it is not enabled by default Usage Server Setup Scanning for other network takes rather long. This has great influence on the actual length of the individual data collections. The duration of the bandwidth measurement can be changed using the -duration argument of wifi-survey. Scan of all visible access points in the vicinity.
Recording of various WiFi details such as advertised channel bandwidth, bitrate, or signal strength.10-second iperf3 measurement, UDP, client (this app) sending to server, default iperf3 options.10-second iperf3 measurement, TCP, server sending to client, default iperf3 options.10-second iperf3 measurement, TCP, client (this app) sending to server, default iperf3 options.Recommended installation is via python setup.py develop in a virtualenv setup with -system-site-packages (for the above dependencies).Īt each survey location, data collection should take 45-60 seconds. An iperf3 server running on another system on the LAN, as described below is recommended but optional.wxPython Phoenix, which unfortunately must be installed using OS packages or built from source.The Python iperf3 package, which needs iperf3 installed on your system.DOCKER IS THE RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION METHOD. NOTE: These can all be ignored when using Docker. In case your data turns out to be too coarse, you can always go back to step 2 and delete or move old and also add new measurements at any time. Once done with all the measurements, use the wifi-heatmap tool to compute a high-resolution heatmap from your recorded data.You can load a floorplan and click on your current location ot record signal strength and determine the achievable bandwidth. Use the wifi-survey tool to record a measurement.When omitting the -server option, this may be skipped, however, be aware that the performance heatmaps tpyically are the icing on the cake of your measurement and are very useful in determining the real performance of your WiFi. This server is used for bandwidth measurements to be independent of your Internet connection. Start an iperf3 server on any machine in your local network.Quick startĬheck out the Running In Docker steps below to get single-line commands that run without the need to install anything on your computer (thanks to using docker).Ĭreating a heatmap using the software consists of the following three essential steps: Many thanks to DL6ER who contributed a massive amount of improvements to this project. The heatmap generation code is roughly based onīeau Gunderson's MIT-licensed wifi-heatmap code.
