⚠️ Disclaimer

This project is for educational and diagnostic purposes only. Do NOT use it on networks, routers, or devices you do not own or lack explicit permission to test. Unauthorized testing may be illegal and disruptive.

✨ Features

• 🌐 HTTP request testing across common router endpoints

• 🔌 Telnet (port 23) connection attempts

• 📡 ICMP ping requests

• 📊 Real-time system monitoring with matplotlib:

  • CPU usage
  • Memory usage
  • Network throughput (sent/received)
  • Requests per second

• 📈 Detailed performance report at the end of each test

---

📦 Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/HasnainMARS/Python-Base-Advanced-Router-Performance-Analyzer-with-Real-Time-Graphs.git
cd Python-Base-Advanced-Router-Performance-Analyzer-with-Real-Time-Graphs

Create a virtual environment (recommended):

conda create -n router-test python=3.10
conda activate router-test

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

or manually:

pip install requests psutil matplotlib

---

▶️ Usage

Edit the target IP address in main() of advanced_router_analyzer.py:

target_ip = "1354.1589.16.21"  # replace with your router IP

Run the analyzer:

python advanced_router_analyzer.py

✅ While the test runs:

• A live graph window will show resource usage and request rates.
• The terminal will display real-time stats.
• A final performance report will print at the end.
