PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The Cisco WLC Access Point Overview sensor monitors the operational status of a wireless LAN controller (WLC) access point and provides a sum of various network utilization metrics of the available slots. It can show the following:
The SNMP Traffic v2 sensor monitors bandwidth and traffic on a device. It can show the following:
The Ping v2 sensor sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request ("ping") from the probe system to the parent device to monitor its availability. It can show the following:
• Response time
• Packet loss
• Target status
• Minimum and maximum ping time
The SNMP Custom Advanced sensor monitors numeric values returned for object identifiers (OID). It can show the following:
The Port v2 sensor monitors a network service by connecting to one or more of its TCP/IP ports. It can show the following:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent Wi-Fi connectivity issues.
PRTG is set up in a matter of minutes and can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices.

A wireless network troubleshooting tool monitors Wi-Fi networks to identify connection problems before they affect users. These tools track signal strength, bandwidth usage, and network traffic to help administrators quickly diagnose issues with wireless devices, routers, and access points, minimizing downtime and resolving network problems efficiently.
PRTG monitors wireless signal strength to detect weak spots and interference sources. It creates visual maps of Wi-Fi signal coverage and alerts you when signals fall below thresholds. The software identifies interference from microwaves, Bluetooth devices, and networks on overlapping Wi-Fi channels in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, helping you optimize antenna positioning and network settings.
PRTG detects authentication failures, IP address conflicts, DHCP issues, and DNS errors. It monitors when wireless devices disconnect and reconnect, tracks TCP connection quality, and identifies firewall blockages. By monitoring both wireless and wired connections through Ethernet cable, PRTG determines if problems originate in the Wi-Fi network, internet service provider, or elsewhere in your network infrastructure.
PRTG's specialized sensors like the Cisco WLC Access Point Overview monitor access point status and connected clients. It tracks bandwidth usage, CPU load, and memory utilization of access points. The software monitors clients connected to each network name (SSID) and helps determine when a simple reboot might resolve issues, making it easier to manage network capacity and optimize access point placement.
Yes, PRTG analyzes wireless network traffic patterns to identify bandwidth-hungry devices and potential bottlenecks. It tracks traffic by protocol across all Wi-Fi channels and frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), helping you identify applications that need throttling. This analysis helps optimize your wireless network for better performance and user experience.
PRTG provides systematic troubleshooting steps for wireless networks by continuously monitoring your infrastructure. Its diagnostics identify whether problems lie with the router, modem, wireless adapter, or internet service provider. The software guides you through steps like rebooting devices or changing Wi-Fi channels to optimize network settings and resolve connection problems.
PRTG offers a unified dashboard for monitoring both wireless and Ethernet cable connections. It provides flexible deployment options for different operating systems, customizable alerts for wireless signal issues, and compatibility with devices from Cisco, Microsoft and other vendors. Its comprehensive reporting helps you decide when to optimize network settings or upgrade antenna equipment to resolve persistent network problems.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
