Abstract
Wireless networks are a crucial infrastructure in the field of computer systems. Therefore, monitoring system for quality and availability of wireless networks is necessary. Currently, various corporations offer services aimed at efficient wireless network monitoring, capable of detecting problems, and helping administrators resolve them quickly. Most of the monitoring systems available today focus on data and information from an infrastructure perspective. However, there are many circumstances where wireless network clients experience problems before the administrators. This research proposes a Wireless Network Quality Monitoring System. By utilizing the Internet of Things as wireless network clients, it is possible to gain insight into the clients’ experiences using wireless network services. This information will eventually reflect the quality and availability of the wireless network from a client’s perspective. The test results show that this monitoring system is capable of counting the number of wireless network interfaces in the testing area and producing results similar to the data from access points. Additionally, the system can identify BSSIDs from wireless network devices, with results matching those obtained using computer software.
