Why I Decided to Make This
Home internet connections frequently have problems and it's hard to prove to your ISP that it's their fault and not your internal wifi being a problem. This utility constantly monitors and logs both and will tell you exactly when either or both your ISP and/or WiFi go out.
History
I'd originally written a Windows service to monitor my ISP roughly 15 or 20 years ago. It had no UI and was very limited in functionality. This is a full fledged service, monitoring many more things, including all of your wifi connected devices and has a nice Web UI.
Future Plans
This is pretty much a finished product as far as features go. I will maintain it moving forward for bugs and polishing it up.
