Why Monitor Your Own Router?
You might be wondering, "Is it worth the effort?" Absolutely! The benefits are immediate:
Proactivity: Receive an alert as soon as the connection drops, even before anyone in your home or office complains.
Quick Diagnosis: Know if the problem is internal (a frozen router) or external (a failed internet provider).
Failure History: Keep a record of all outages, with the date and time. Great for billing your provider for instability!
Learning: This is an excellent project to enter the world of network monitoring, a highly valued skill in the IT market.
