Think your Wi-Fi connection is slow and want a record to show your internet provider? Look no further 😃.
Each time you record the WiFi's speed the results are appended to a records.txt file in JSON format. A set of charts can then be generated from this data.

npm install --global record-wifi-speed
- wifiName: The name of the Wi-Fi network you wish to record the speed of. For example
PLUSNET-1234. - resultsDirectory: The directory which will contain the results of the speed tests and the generated charts. For example
C:\Users\Bob\results. The directory will be generated with the following content:
results/
├── records.txt
└── charts/
├── download.html
├── download.png
├── download.svg
├── ping.html
├── ping.png
├── ping.svg
├── upload.html

└── upload.svg- numberOfGroups (optional): The number of bars (groups) there will be on the generated charts. If this argument isn't provided then the default is 5.
const { speedTest, generateCharts } = require('record-wifi-speed')
const wifiName = '...'
const resultsDirectory = '...'
const numberOfGroups = 10 // Optional argument, defaults to 5
speedTest({ wifiName, resultsDirectory })
generateCharts({ resultsDirectory, numberOfGroups })You must have installed record-wifi-speed globally to run it on the CLI.
rws-run <wifiName> <resultsDirectory>
rws-charts <resultsDirectory> --number-of-groups <numberOfGroups>
You must have installed record-wifi-speed globally to run the executable.
The command rws-package creates an executable called record-wifi-speed.exe in your current directory.
rws-package
./record-wifi-speed.exe <wifiName> <resultsDirectory>
You might want to create a scheduled task which runs this executable periodically (for example with Windows Task Scheduler). It would then record your Wi-Fi speed in the background every period.
