    Having now resolved an annoying WiFi disconnect/reconnect issue on my youngest’s PC, I’d like to unplug the Ethernet cable, but not before I’ve fully tested the WiFi reliability.

    Does anyone know a program I can use to time how long the WiFi connection is active. I’ve tried using the Connection Status box, but as it failed to spot I inadvertently reset the router whilst doing some other work on my PC (so connection would have been lost), that obviously won’t work.

    Try something along the lines of…

    ping 192.168.x.x -t > filename.txt.

    Where x.x is your router address. ….I think there’s also a way to add a time stamp to the log file ?
    ( …not done any of this stuff in years, so may be a bit rusty)

    Thanks guys.

    Chris, the ping -t seems just the ticket.

    You need to download fping for timestamps.
