AirPort Flow is a compact and easy-to-use software that enables users to keep track of their AirPort Extreme's transfer rates. It is an efficient tool for monitoring wireless network speeds.
AirPort Flow is an efficient and user-friendly utility designed to monitor the transfer rates on an AirPort Extreme. With this software, users can get real-time information on the incoming and outgoing TCP traffic rates of their router via SNMP polling.
AirPort Flow displays the information in two graphs: the top one presents the incoming TCP traffic to the router, while the lower one shows the outgoing TCP traffic from the router on a given interface. The software also offers convenient preference settings, including the ability to set the IP Address of the router, an IF (interface) index value (2 is specific for the AirPort Extreme), and a community password (public is default).
When no response is received from the router, the software displays the message [No SNMP response]. It is essential to enable SNMP on the router for the software to work correctly. Additionally, the IF index feature allows users to monitor other interfaces on the router. Port 6 monitors the WLAN, while 2 monitors the wireless part.
Requirements for using this software include an AirPort Extreme with Allow SNMP enabled, under Advanced in AirPort Utility. Overall, AirPort Flow is an invaluable tool for monitoring and optimizing network activity on AirPort Extreme routers.
