Abstract
Example implementations relate to determining router and computing device performance. An example non-transitory machine-readable medium can include instructions executable by a processor to capture, from an agent device on a computing device of a network, computing device data and network connectivity data associated with the computing device and filter data associated with connectivity to non-WiFi networks from the captured computing device data and network connectivity data. The instructions can be executable to filter out-of-network data from the captured computing device data and network connectivity data, correlate the filtered data with wireless router performance data, and determine router and computing device performances based on the correlation.
Claims15
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a computing system to:
- capture, from an agent device on a computing device of a network, computing device data and network connectivity data associated with the computing device;
- filter data associated with connectivity to non-WiFi networks from the captured computing device data and network connectivity data;
- filter out-of-network data from the captured computing device data and network connectivity data;
- correlate the filtered data with wireless router performance data;
- and
- based on the correlation, determine router and computing device performances.
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of agent devices, each one of the plurality of agent devices to:
- monitor an associated computing device for a plurality of data types, the plurality of data types comprising:
- computing device connectivity data, computing device location data, and WiFi error and transmission data;
- and
- periodically notify a controller of a change to one of the plurality of data types;
- and
- the controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of agent devices to:
- retrieve and compile notifications from the plurality of agent devices;
- filter from the retrieved notifications out-of-network data and non-WiFi data;
- and
- determine performance of a wireless router within a network of computing devices housing the plurality of agent devices using the filtered retrieve notifications.
A method, comprising:
- retrieving, from a plurality of agent devices housed on a plurality of computing devices within a network, network connectivity data and location data associated with each one of the plurality of computing devices;
- removing invalid data from the retrieved network connectivity data and location data;
- determining performances, including signal strengths and error rates, of a plurality of wireless routers associated with the plurality of computing devices based on retrieved network connectivity data and location data having the removed invalid data;
- determining a wireless connectivity performance of each one of the plurality of computing devices based on retrieved network connectivity data and location data having the removed invalid data;
- and
- mapping a wireless connectivity performance of the network based on the performances of the wireless routers and the performances of the computing devices.
