The method for monitoring a wireless link of a Wi-Fi node of a customer premises equipment device comprises the steps of replicating receive packets as well as transmit packets passing through the transmit/receive buffers of a physical layer by including a time stamp for the replicated packets, and passing the replicated packets to a monitoring unit. All packets are replicated in particular by including an Rx/Tx control of the Wi-Fi software driver of the customer premises equipment device to obtain the exact packet exchange and timing of the Wi-Fi network. The customer premises equipment device comprises a Wi-Fi node including a Wi-Fi software driver and a physical layer with transmit/receive buffers, a Wi-Fi monitoring application for replicating the packets passing through the transmit/receive buffers, and a monitoring data path for passing the replicated packets to a monitoring unit. |
