Monitor your Modem/Router and know when it looses it’s Internet Access!
- This widget can monitor any Modem/Router connected to internet and notify on your Android device when that internet connection is lost.
- Just configure your Modem/Router to reply to Ping or open one of this ports (80, 8080, 21, 7, 25, 110, 1, 443, 53).
- Technically speaking this widget will monitor any IP address,URL, Domain name. The monitoring is made through Ping and/or Port-Scanning to the given IP address (IPv4 only).
For example if you have internet at home you will be notified when that internet connection is lost. In that case:.
- You have no electricity at home (Power outage).
- Your internet provider cut your internet connection.

Troubleshooting
In case you were unsuccessful you need to configure your modem/router. Connect to it with your computer with a cable or via wireless. Open your browser and access to http://192.168.0.1/ (usually is this address, but can be other. You just need to connect to the configurations page of your modem/router). Next you have to configure your modem/router to respond to Ping (ICMP packet) or Port Forwarding.
- Ping
In the configurations of the modem/router allow ping connections. Example:
- Port Forwarding
In the configurations of the modem/router go to Port Forwarding and place one of these ports (80; 8080; 21; 7; 25; 110; 1; 443; 53) for any IP Address. Example:
If you want to monitor an IP address always changing you can configure your modem/router to have Dynamic DDNS service enabled:
