I’ll also highlight a couple of network monitoring and optimization solutions designed to help you monitor your Wi-Fi bandwidth more easily and cheaply, including my personal favorite tools, the SolarWinds ® network bandwidth analyzer pack, and SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer. In this piece, I’ll explain how to monitor bandwidth and how to perform a Wi-Fi bandwidth test-and why both those practices are important.

By testing and continuously monitoring your wireless network bandwidth, you can identify and address the reasons for low bandwidth before they can seriously impact overall performance. How do you identify those bandwidth hogs, and how do you check if your bandwidth is high in general?įortunately, there’s an easy answer. After all, if you have too many high-energy devices and applications putting a strain on your Wi-Fi or WLAN bandwidth, both your network performance and your end-user experience will suffer. IT admins know the importance of wireless network bandwidth when it comes to maintaining network performance.
