Overview

RouterGraph connects to a router's API (default: http://192.168.1.1) and collects key network performance metrics, including:

• Signal strength (RSRP)
• Signal quality (RSRQ)
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SINR)
• Download speeds
• Upload speeds

The collected data is displayed in real-time graphical charts, providing an intuitive way to monitor your network performance over time.

Compatibility

This tool is specifically designed to work with the Airtel 5G Router and has been tested to be fully compatible with its API structure and data format.

Features

• Real-time Monitoring: Continuously updates network metrics every second
• Visual Data Representation: Four-panel visualization showing different network metrics
• Connection Quality Analysis: Calculates and displays an overall connection quality score
• Signal Strength Categorization: Converts technical RSRP values to user-friendly categories
• Speed Formatting: Displays network speeds in appropriate units (Kbps or Mbps)
• Historical Data: Maintains recent history of network performance

Requirements

requests
matplotlib
numpy
pandas
beautifulsoup4
lxml

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the files
2. Install required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Usage

The project includes two main modules:

1. Basic Router Information (router_info.py)

Provides basic network status information and visualization:

python router_info.py

2. Advanced Router Metrics (router_metrics.py)

Offers more detailed metrics and analysis of your router's performance:

python router_metrics.py

Configuration

By default, the application connects to a router at http://192.168.1.1. If your router has a different IP address, you can specify it when running the scripts:

# In your code
router = RouterAPI(base_url="http://your.router.ip")
# or
metrics = RouterMetrics(base_url="http://your.router.ip")

Project Structure

• router_info.py - Basic router monitoring with visualization
• router_metrics.py - Advanced router metrics with detailed analysis
• requirements.txt - Python package dependencies

Notes

• This application is designed for routers with a compatible API endpoint at /cgi-bin/http.cgi
• SSL warnings are disabled as most routers use self-signed certificates
• The application uses Matplotlib with TkAgg backend for interactive plotting
