Looking for a DU Meter alternative?
DU Meter is a reliable real-time speed graph with a long track record. But a graph is something you have to watch, and it won't tell you whether a problem is your Wi-Fi or your ISP. Copper Goose Network Monitor watches for you and says which it is.
What DU Meter does well
DU Meter from Hagel Technologies has a long track record and is still actively updated. It gives you a real-time graph of your upload and download speed, and it's a one-time purchase.
Which one fits
Choose DU Meter if…
- You like having a live graph of your connection on screen.
Choose Copper Goose if…
- You want to be told when something is wrong, rather than watching a graph for it.
- You want to know which part is at fault - Wi-Fi, cable, router, fibre box or ISP.
- You want an exportable log of every drop and slowdown for your ISP.
What Copper Goose Network Monitor does
- Learns what normal looks like on your own line - no plan speed to enter, nothing to configure.
- Names the part at fault in plain English: your Wi-Fi, a cable, the router, the fibre box or your ISP.
- Detects a weak Wi-Fi link, including when Windows still shows full bars.
- Says when other devices on your network are filling the line.
- Spots an Ethernet cable or port that has dropped to half its usual link speed.
- Logs every drop and slowdown with the time and the measured figures, and exports the log as a report for your ISP.
- Shows live download and upload speed, and tracks data usage against a limit you set, with warnings at 80% and 100%.
