Gateway & router support
Network Weather automatically detects your router and pulls in as much detail as it can — often without needing to log in at all.
How it works
Network Weather automatically identifies your router brand and model when it starts up — no configuration needed. It looks at several signals from your network and picks the best match. Once it knows what you have, it starts pulling in data right away.
Integration levels
Deep Integration
The richest experience. Once you provide your router login, Network Weather can show you every connected device with WiFi signal strength, mesh network health, internet connection diagnostics, security findings, and more. See Router Login for setup.
Basic Integration
Network Weather can show useful information like firmware version, internet connection status, or mesh role — but doesn't have access to per-device details like signal strength. This is usually because the router doesn't offer that data to outside apps.
Detection Only
Network Weather identifies the brand and model of your router. You still get baseline data like your external IP address, traffic totals, and internet connection status if your router has UPnP enabled (most do).
Deep Integration
Full network visibility with login — connected devices, signal strength, mesh health, security findings, and more.
| Brand | Without login | With login | Tested on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ubiquiti UniFi | Model | Devices, signal strength, AP names, mesh, firmware | UDM-Pro |
| Eero | Model, serial number | Devices, signal strength, mesh health, security settings | eero 6+ |
| TP-Link | Model | Devices, signal strength, WiFi settings, all connected devices | Archer AX21 v5.0 |
| ASUS | Model | Devices, signal strength, mesh layout, channel usage | RT-AX1800S V2 |
| Netgear (Nighthawk) | Model, firmware | Devices, port stats, WiFi settings, security findings | RAXE500 Nighthawk |
| Netgear Orbi | Model, firmware | Mesh topology with per-satellite signal strength and backhaul, per-device node attribution, traffic stats, gateway CPU and memory, WAN status | RBE770 (Wi-Fi 7) |
| MikroTik | Model, firmware, uptime | Devices, interfaces, WiFi diagnostics, security findings | hAP ax S |
| D-Link | Model, firmware | Devices, internet diagnostics, security findings | DIR-813 Rev B1 |
| Linksys | Model | Devices, internet status, port speeds, security findings | E5400 |
Basic Integration
Useful information beyond the basics, but without per-device details.
| Brand | What you get | Tested on |
|---|---|---|
| Google Nest WiFi | Model, firmware, internet status, uptime, mesh role (all automatic, no login needed) | Nest WiFi Router (2019, H2D) |
| Starlink | Hardware model and firmware version (no login needed). Satellite-aware behavior: per-hop ping is hidden since Starlink drops ICMP mid-path, and the in-flight banner is suppressed for ground-based dishes. | Starlink Mini |
| Actiontec | Model, firmware age; with login: connected devices, basic status | MI-424WR Rev D |
Detection Only
Brand and model identification. Baseline network data comes from UPnP if your router supports it.
| Brand | What you get | Tested on |
|---|---|---|
| Cisco Meraki | Model, basic connection info | MR36 |
| Cisco | Model | None yet |
| Any UPnP router | External IP, traffic data, link speed, port forwarding rules | Any compatible router |
Cable Modems
Network Weather can also see a cable modem sitting upstream of your router. It looks at the standard cable modem address (192.168.100.1) at the same time it looks at your router. The brand is identified from the modem's login page. With the modem password saved, Network Weather pulls per-channel signal stats, recent error events, and uptime, and shows them in a collapsible Cable Modem section under your ISP.
| Brand | Without login | With login | Tested on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arris / CommScope | Brand and model identification | Per-channel downstream and upstream signal (power, SNR, codeword errors), event log entries (T3 timeouts, MDD failures), uptime | SB8200 |
My router isn't listed
If your router has UPnP enabled (most do), Network Weather still collects baseline data automatically. You won't get per-device details, but internet connection status, traffic data, and port forwarding information still work.
