HopSense: Is It the Wi‑Fi or the ISP?

A desktop network monitor that separates problems inside your home from trouble beyond the router.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

HopSense compares two legs of the same round trip: the computer’s route to its home router and a public internet anchor beyond it. It combines ICMP and TCP probes with adapter-level details such as signal strength, retries, band, and channel changes, then assigns application-specific verdicts for calls, games, browsing, and streaming. The site estimates about 400 MB of daily traffic and says sleeping laptops are recorded as away rather than outages.
