Wi-Fi Network Analyzer
Use NPM Wi-Fi network analysis features for proactive monitoring and insights across your wireless business network
Monitor wireless networks
Using an automated Wi-Fi network analyzer is critical for ensuring business network uptime. With SolarWinds® Network Performance Monitor (NPM), admins gain oversight over internal wireless network performance and can even view external connectivity issues. SolarWinds NPM retrieves performance metrics for autonomous access points, wireless controllers, and clients. It also offers fault, performance, and availability monitoring, cross-stack network data correlation, hop-by-hop network path analysis, and other crucial wireless analysis features.
Accelerate Wi-Fi troubleshooting
SolarWinds NPM Wi-Fi analyzer features are designed to expedite network troubleshooting. Automatically discover network devices, map network paths, and see performance metrics, link utilization, and wireless coverage in one easy-to-use dashboard. Quickly detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues on a customizable web platform, and share views across your IT team. Gain greater control over your Wi-Fi analysis process—the NPM dashboard allows admins to drag and drop performance metrics in a visual interface for immediate cross-stack network data correlation.
Access crucial Wi-Fi analysis factors
Keep an eye on crucial wireless performance factors like device downtime. Improve visibility into critical devices, firewalls, and load balancers with SolarWinds Network Insight™ for Cisco ASA and F5 BIG-IP. With NPM Wi-Fi network tools, you can gain information about access points like name, type, SSID, and connected clients. View similar details about each client, as well as MAC address, signal strength, time connected, data rate, and bytes received/transmitted. Avoid service disruptions by understanding bandwidth trends and staying up-to-date on data packet traffic.
Perform straightforward Wi-Fi analysis
NPM is built to make it easy to perform a comprehensive Wi-Fi network analysis. NPM Wi-Fi network analyzer features can automatically recognize and begin polling your wireless APs and controllers as soon as they are added to the SolarWinds® Platform database. You can view updated metadata and performance details of APs and clients connected to each AP. Once your data is collected, SolarWinds PerfStack™ allows you to compare different metrics side by side using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Select the information you want to view and create a common timeline to correlate issues without switching between multiple tools. After identifying the cause of a network problem, PerfStack facilitates simple cross-team sharing of analysis projects.
Visualize network paths and enhance service quality
Gain visibility across your networks for a more comprehensive Wi-Fi analysis. For a broad Wi-Fi overview, use NetPath™, NPM’s visual traceroute tool designed to provide an end-to-end map of devices, applications, networks, and vendors on your network with their associated performance details. You can also track every hop and view latency historically or in real-time. Using the information provided by network path analysis, you can rapidly identify issues, locate users who may be down, and achieve a holistic overview of how your network delivers applications. All this allows you to troubleshoot and optimize more effectively to enhance the user experience.
