How Do I Graph My WiFi Connectivity?












0















Note: This question is about monitoring the issue not fixing the issue.



I have been noticing recently my wifi dropping then reconnecting.



Sometimes the network widget says it is connected but I can't connect to any site and the only fix is to manually disconnect then reconnect.



Obviously I only notice this when I am actually browsing but it could be happening when I am working offline too.



How do I monitor the connection in the background so that after a day or a week I can look back at it in graph form to see how frequently it is dropping?
