Analyze Wi-Fi router traffic patterns to resolve bandwidth issues



Get to the root cause of bandwidth issues with the intuitive point-and-click interface in SolarWinds® NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA), an add-on for Network Performance Monitor (NPM). You can use NTA to monitor Wi-Fi router traffic, identify peak Wi-Fi usage, and display the specific endpoints or applications consuming the most bandwidth within your network. You can also review historical data to identify habitual bandwidth bottlenecks and adjust policies for better bandwidth management so you don’t waste money on unnecessary additional bandwidth. The NTA Wi-Fi network traffic monitoring and analysis dashboard is built to deliver a comprehensive, customizable view of your Wi-Fi traffic in a single pane of glass and helps you quickly spot potential problems through the included top-ten views of Wi-Fi network traffic data.

Identify Wi-Fi traffic top talkers to improve speeds

Network Traffic Analysis Tool - Analyze Your Network Use case type 1 2 Features Array Item - features item image

Usually, only a couple of users or applications are responsible for your heaviest bandwidth usage. With SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA), you can quickly identify which specific endpoints and applications are responsible for generating heavy Wi-Fi router traffic resulting in bottlenecks.

Use NTA to identify top talkers on your network, minimizing the impact of their bandwidth usage over time. With NTA, you can also track application traffic arriving from designated ports, source IPs, destination IPs, and protocols.

Do you find yourself asking…

  • A Wi-Fi traffic monitor is a tool designed to determine whether your Wi-Fi traffic levels are typical for your existing wireless infrastructure. The goal of a wireless traffic monitor is to help manage bandwidth usage and Wi-Fi traffic to avoid unexpected traffic spikes and bottlenecks which seriously impact performance.

    When it comes to finding a reliable Wi-Fi network traffic monitor, you should choose a tool that goes beyond simply showing Wi-Fi traffic spikes as they occur. You need a Wi-Fi traffic monitoring solution to measure traffic and give you actionable insights to help implement policy changes to maximize your wireless bandwidth capabilities.

    Since your network relies on Wi-Fi every day to ensure remote, mobile, and wireless devices stay connected to internet access points and each other, Wi-Fi traffic monitoring is essential. When there are so many different devices constantly participating in networks and connecting to the internet, you can no longer guarantee reliable network uptime without taking steps to manage your wireless traffic and bandwidth.

    A Wi-Fi bandwidth monitor can more effectively collect and synthesize data related to your Wi-Fi traffic and bandwidth use and includes visualization functionalities making it easier to find everything from traffic flows to bandwidth hogs.

    The best monitoring solutions will also come with Wi-Fi traffic control features for anticipating and preventing traffic spikes and bottlenecks, leading to downtime and performance problems. With a quality Wi-Fi bandwidth monitor, you can take proactive remediating actions before wireless performance is severely impacted and ultimately help your organization run more smoothly.

Prevent downtime and outages with a Wi-Fi traffic monitor

NetFlow Traffic Analyzer

  • Monitor wireless bandwidth use by application, protocol, and IP address group.
  • Get alerted if application traffic suddenly increases, decreases, or disappears completely.
  • Analyze network traffic patterns over months, weeks, days, or minutes by drilling down into any network element.
