Prerequisites
- A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ or a newer model
- A micro SD card with at least 16GB size
- WiFiMon Raspberry Pi operating system image. Size ~ 3.6 GB
Note: The image is a custom version of "Raspbian Stretch with desktop" OS, with the default Raspberry Pi credentials (user: pi, password: raspberry). We advise you to secure your Raspberry Pi by changing the default password (more details at Step 3).
Four (4) steps to finish the setup
Step 1: Write the image to the micro SD card
Follow the instructions at the official Raspberry Pi. Skip the "Download the image" step and use the WiFiMon Raspberry Pi operating system image instead.
Step 2: Start the Raspberry Pi
Follow the simple steps below:
...
You should see a red light on the Raspberry Pi and raspberries on the monitor. The WiFiMon Hardware Probe will boot up into a graphical desktop.
Step 3: Configure the RPi
Note: At this point, we inform you that the image uses the default Raspberry Pi credentials (user: pi, password: raspberry). We advise you to secure your Raspberry Pi by changing the default password.

Depending on the available tests (or WiFiMon-enabled pages), you can specify which tests will be executed and when. You may also see an example. It is advised to visit the test pages with Mozilla Firefox in case Adding Security Exceptions are necessary, e.g. when certificates are not trusted. This will ensure that SSL-related errors will not prevent the WiFiMon HW Probe from visiting these pages. Optionally, you may enable SSH to access the command line of a Raspberry Pi remotely or setup remote desktop.
Step 4: Wireless Network Performance Metrics
In /home/pi, you will find the Python script wireless.py.
