I built a free Windows tray app to log every Wi-Fi drops, DFS radar evictions and ping spikes (r/coolgithubprojects)

My Wi-Fi kept dropping for a few seconds at random, and the router logs told me nothing.

Watches Your Wi-Fi Channel, Signal And Ping And Logs Every Change

Wifi Watch Minutes

Wifi Watch Stats

Features

  • Live status bar: channel with DFS marker, signal, link rate, router and internet ping
  • Alerts when radar pushes your router off a DFS channel, and when it comes back
  • Alerts for disconnects, weak signal, ping spikes, packet loss and internet outages
  • Traces every outage to show whether it stops at your router or inside the provider network
  • Advises the quietest 80 MHz channel block from nearby networks
  • Logs every minute, with daily and weekly charts and CSV export
  • Lives in the tray and starts with Windows
  • Everything stays on your PC

Quick start

  1. Download and run the exe from the latest release
  2. Turn on location services if asked
  3. Let it run in the tray

⚠️ Important

  • Windows 11 only shares Wi-Fi details with location services on
  • Wi-Fi details are read through netsh, which needs Windows in English
  • Channel advice follows EU channel rules
  • The router settings link opens port 8443, the ASUS default

Technical details

  • C# and WPF on .NET 10, with a Blazor interface through BlazorWebView
  • MudBlazor, ApexCharts and SQLite through Entity Framework Core
