tmo-monitor VS TrashCanMonitor

tmo-monitor.py should be available. Run tmo-monitor.py --help or read the docs at https://github.com/highvolt-dev/tmo-monitor/

Just added http health checks to tmo-monitor to get around ping flakiness. http checks are at the mercy of your routing tables in a dual WAN scenario if you're load balancing with another ISP.

You can use this python script I wrote: https://github.com/highvolt-dev/tmo-monitor

So far, it doesn't look like you even need to. It's been working fine overnight on a cron job on the Pi for me just telling it that it's the Arcadyan unit. Data is coming through and seems to parse the JSON correctly. I verified that the reboot function does work as well, and it does the login procedure OK to get the auth token and everything. I'd come across it a couple of weeks ago, but the key thing I hadn't realized up to that point was that the Arcadyan and the Sagemcom have the same API calls, so thanks for that! (BTW, I ended up using Wireshark on my PC, rather than PCAPDroid -- just connected a USB-to-Ethernet dongle on the phone and my PC, bridged to my main Ethernet, and filtered on data going between the gateway and my phone, and saw all the things.) If it helps, here's what I'm using: python3 /home/pi/.local/bin/tmo-monitor.py --model ARCKVD21 --ping-count 2 --log-all --logfile tmplog.txt --print-config admin (after I installed the script to my Pi by sending: pip3 install git+https://github.com/highvolt-dev/tmo-monitor.git@main ) The log is chugging away and adding lines like: 2023/01/12 04:33:11 [INFO] 4G: B66 | 5G: n41 | eNB ID: REDACTED | Avg Ping: 34 ms | Uptime: 2756 sec

Use powershell script (nater tater youtube video), kill the Arc wifi. Get a good router, feed gateway to router and setup wifi on router. Get a router that has SQM as a feature, to mitigate bufferbloat. use app on phone to find spot where you get 20+ sinr and -70 or better on rsrp. at the time this was posted, I have -72 on rsrp and 28 on sinr. it varies between -72 to -69 and sinr has hit 30, but usually locks in at 28 to 29. My down from fast.com is 890Mbps. Speedtest-cli on fedora 36 is 220.52 down, 81.53 up ping 30.67ms. I run WoW on 3 computers, and pings in game are 56-60ms. have 4 alexa tv/fire stick tv and stream all our content, no interference in games or streaming, my router has bandwidth controls, so i limit the fire sticks to 50MBps on download, and the tv cubes are limited to 200MBps on download because we have 4k tv. turning off wifi has increased stability and lowered temperature on gateway. I have had to power cycle, after tmobile pushed 1.8 webgui to gateway. I use a python script (https://github.com/highvolt-dev/tmo-monitor) to query gateway stats and if needed initiate a reboot on failing to ping the free dns site 1.1.1.1 and it has helped me have internet 24/7. our only other choice where we are at, is 15Mbps dsl, with 1Mbps upload. Not good for remote work. Hope this information is useful and helps maximize your tmhi experience.

They offer an API that you can use, so you can avoid scraping an HTML page. See https://github.com/EricTerrell/TrashCanMonitor

For this test, I used the python "trashcan monitor" created by Eric Terrell: EricTerrell/TrashCanMonitor: Monitor your 5G21-12W-A High-Speed Internet Gateway device 24/7 (github.com) , and ran the monitor for 24 hours with the modem unshielded, and then 24 hours with the modem shielded (see photos below). I collected link statistics once a minute and then pulled the stats into a spreadhseet where I could play with the numbers. In the end, I looked at Average, Min and Max values of each stats in both the un-shielded and shielded state.
