Expanding the timeline history to 90 days, locking down noisy 2.4 GHz channel churn, and rolling out massive performance and timeout fixes for ISP Health on lower-power hardware. See v1.24.0 release notes for what's new in v1.24.0+.

What's New

  • Extended Live View timeline history - Unlocked the scrubber from its 24-hour limit. You can now select presets up to 30 days and Max (the 90-day retention cap), using a server-side cache so younger installs cleanly clamp to their actual data duration.
  • Smarter 2.4 GHz optimization - Raised the bar for channel moves on the crowded 2.4 GHz band. The optimizer now requires an 8% whole-site score improvement (up from 3%) before recommending a change, stopping zero-sum channel churn.
  • Adaptive ISP Health fallback - Low-power boxes and spinning disks no longer hang on heavy computations. The engine now automatically scales back the evaluation window ($48\text{h} \to 24\text{h} \to 16\text{h}$) if a step exceeds the time budget.

Wi-Fi Optimizer

  • Surfaced scan permission errors - Read-only accounts no longer fail silently or loop through re-authentication. The UI now catches the 403 error immediately and prompts you to grant the account the Network: Site Admin role.
  • Streamlined scan button and UI - Condensed the wordy scan banner into a single line, moving details to a tooltip. The scan button now stretches full-width on mobile and shows live per-band progress (e.g., "Scanning… 2/3 bands").
  • Updated connection guidance - Changed the setup instructions in Settings to recommend Network: Site Admin, adding a note that View Only covers everything except on-demand RF scans.

Monitoring

ISP Health

  • 5x faster computations - Optimized in-memory hot paths to prevent timeouts on 30-day windows. The engine now precomputes indexes, sorts series exactly once instead of 4 to 5 times, and skips per-bucket object allocations. Output remains bit-identical.
  • Adaptive fallback badges - Added a small badge next to the date selector when the compute window has been auto-reduced. Hovering explains why, and clicking it re-probes the full target window.
  • Fixed InfluxDB query timeouts - Raised the default query timeout past the compute budget, fixing a bug where heavy database reads were canceled mid-flight (#941).
  • Hero loading states - Changing time windows, refreshing, or switching access technology now shows a styled loading spinner in the score area instead of sticking on stale numbers.

Network Performance

  • Pooled loss percentage investigation - Modified the Latency & Packet Loss "Investigate" highlight band to show the pooled mean loss across the exact target definitions used to grade the score, eliminating data drift.

Fixes

  • 2D Map Mobile Scrubber - Fixed a layout bug to ensure the mobile timeline scrubber renders correctly beneath the 2D canvas area.
  • Congestion timeline phrasing - Gated the phrase "and the hops beyond" strictly on a placed bottleneck hop, preventing unlocalized events without saved traces from using intermediate hop phrasing.

Installation

Windows: Download the MSI installer below

Docker:

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

macOS (native, recommended for accurate speed tests vs Docker Desktop):

git clone https://github.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer.git && cd NetworkOptimizer && ./scripts/install-macos-native.sh
# or if you already have it cloned
cd NetworkOptimizer && git pull && ./scripts/install-macos-native.sh

Proxmox:

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer/main/scripts/proxmox/install.sh)"
# or if you just need to update
pct exec <CT_ID> -- bash -c "cd /opt/network-optimizer && docker compose pull && docker compose up -d"

For other platforms (Synology, QNAP, Unraid, native Linux), see the Deployment Guide.
