Tessabyte vs WLAN Pros Toolbox

Experience the difference with Tessabyte — a powerful tool for measuring and analyzing network performance. This utility sends TCP and UDP data streams across your network and computes important metrics such as upstream and downstream throughput, packet loss, jitter, and round-trip time, and displays the results in both numeric and chart formats. Whether you're troubleshooting connectivity issues, validating upgrades, or optimizing your network, Tessabyte provides precise insights into its speed and reliability. Tessabyte uses a client-server setup to run tests, so a server component (which can be downloaded at https://www.netmantics.com) is highly recommended for local network testing. However, the application also offers access to public test servers. What can you do with Tessabyte? • Wi-Fi Speed Tests: Test wireless networks for throughput and reliability. • Network Capacity Tests: Assess the maximum data transfer rate that a network link can support. • Link Quality Analysis: Determine the quality of individual network links. • Stress Tests: Simulate high traffic loads and observe how the network behaves under congestion. • Quality of Service (QoS) Assessment: Evaluate how different traffic types are prioritized in the network. • Firmware and Hardware Updates Validation: Verify the impact of network device firmware or hardware upgrades. • LAN Bandwidth Tests: Don't take your local network speed for granted. Test, verify, and monitor. • Network Topology Planning: Understand how network design choices impact performance. • Comparative Benchmarking: Compare the performance of different network components or analyze how your network behaves at various times of the day. • Security Assessment: Evaluate the impact of security measures on network performance. • Load Balancing Verification: Test the effectiveness of load balancing in a network. • SLA Compliance Verification: Ensure that the network meets its Service Level Agreements. Why Tessabyte: • Accurate, real-time measurements • Reports in PDF and CSV formats • Customizable TCP and UDP traffic parameters • Support for both IPv4 and IPv6 • Cross-platform compatibility: an iOS/iPadOS client can "talk" to a macOS or Windows server, etc.

WLAN Pros Toolbox gives Wi-Fi pros, IT help desks, instructors and students 260+ network tools, plus a Wireless Classroom of lessons and simulators. Free. No account. No ads. No data collected. Built by Keith Parsons, CWNE #3, and Wireless LAN Professionals. Everything is grouped so you find the tool you need fast: live network tests, calculators, reference tables and the Wireless Classroom. The Wireless Classroom - 30 Guided Lessons in plain language, where the pictures do most of the teaching: Find My, Starlink, Wi-Fi Calling, Travel Routers, Captive Portals, Mesh and Extenders, One Talker per Channel, Is Your Router Too Old?, and more. - 50 interactive simulators: Wi-Fi Through a Wall, Multipath, Rate vs Range, Modulation, Polarization, OFDMA vs MU-MIMO, MIMO and Beamforming, Airtime Fairness, Multi-Link Operation (Wi-Fi 7), Roaming Walk, DFS and Radar, 802.1X and EAP. - Presenter mode for the projector, one step at a time. - A Teacher's Guide and a Field Manual for instructors. Is It Your Wi-Fi or Your Internet? Test My Connection helps answer the question everyone asks, in plain language. Start here when someone hands you a slow connection. Networking Tools Ping, traceroute, DNS, WHOIS, BGP/ASN, MAC vendor lookup, IP geolocation, port scan, HTTP and SSL/TLS inspectors, NTP, Wake-on-LAN. Calculators Free space path loss, Fresnel zone, link budget, EIRP, dBm and watts, rain fade, noise floor, antenna downtilt, capacity planner, SSID airtime, throughput, PoE budget, IP subnets, GPS. Quick Reference 103 tables in 13 topics: channels, 802.11 standards, MCS index, security and authentication, reason codes, cabling and connectors, ports, and a Wireless Glossary of 123 plain-language terms in English, Spanish, French, Italian and German. Reference tables and calculators work offline. Live tests need a network connection. iOS limits what apps can read about Wi-Fi, so on iPhone and iPad some live Wi-Fi details come from an optional companion Apple Shortcut. Free for the community.
