I've built whm [0] also known as WiFi heatmap generator. This project is actually just a week old. For the past few weeks I was searching for a proper tool that can benchmark and profile my Access Point locations at my home. Tried a lot of android and windows apps and got frustrated using them. So I ended up making whm and releasing it to public. The project currently is able to capture metrics like WiFi latency, jitter TCP and UDP bandwidth across iperf3, speedtest and librespeed.

I tried using the paid ones like NetSpot but I preferred more flexibility not to mention their app did not work properly on my Android 11 device and I preferred a more opensource approach.

I tried an open source tool made by Jason Antman called Wifi survey map [1] but it did not have support for multiple APs and does not support speedtest benchmarking.
