Monitoring Performance Metrics Associated With a Wireless Network

摘要

An access point device operating within a wireless local area network (WLAN) includes a network interface operable to facilitate communication with a network operator over an IP network. The network operator is located outside of a range of the WLAN. The access point device also includes a wireless network interface operable to facilitate communication between the access point device and a user device. The access point device further includes a processor operable to gather a first performance metric associated with the access point device and receive a second performance metric gathered by the user device in response to an instruction from the access point device to gather the second performance metric. The processor may facilitate transmission of the first and second performance metrics over the IP network to the network operator.
