NetCheck

NetCheck is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you gather detailed information about your router. The tool works with Thomson 585v8 Router, Baudtec PSTN/TW263r4-A2 Router, and Thomson TG782 Router.

You are welcomed by a straightforward layout that allows you to collect data about connections via a dashboard. The dashboard provides at a glance details about line statistics and connection information.

It implements two gauges that record info about the download and upload speed, attenuation, output power, as well as maximum speed.

Plus, the utility is able to retrieve data about connections, such as connection type, uptime, status, ADSL type, router firmware, MAC address, router IP, external IP address, NAT status, router serial number, PVC, and errors. Several smart buttons are implemented in the main window for helping you start, stop or restart the monitoring process.

NetCheck gives you the possibility to keep logs with details about the date, time, SNR down/up status, and Internet status. You can print and back up the logs to a file on your system.

You are allowed to ping user-defined IP addresses, set up router credentials (type, username and password), run the application at Windows startup, open the utility minimized and automatically activate the monitoring process, save the log file on exit, as well as update the ADSL info at a user-defined time (in seconds).

All things considered, NetCheck provides an intuitive software solution for keeping an eye on your routers and logging data. On the downside, it hasn’t benefited from an update for a while, so you can make use of its capabilities especially on older operating systems like Windows XP, Vista or 7.
