Set it up once, then relax knowing you'll be notified the moment something goes wrong
Pinger watches your network equipment 24/7. When something stops responding, you get an email alert within seconds. It's like having someone constantly checking if your Wi-Fi, routers, and servers are working - but automated.
Have multiple locations? Pinger automatically detects when a remote site's internet goes down - even when the local system can't reach you.
How it works: Every 30 seconds, each location checks in with the cloud. If a location stops checking in for 90 seconds, you get an email alert that the site is offline - whether it's a power outage, internet failure, or equipment problem. You'll know about the issue even when the remote location can't contact you directly.
Download and install Pinger on a computer or server that's always on. This could be an office computer, a server, or even a Raspberry Pi. The software is small and runs quietly in the background.
Tell Pinger what to watch - your Wi-Fi access points, routers, servers, printers, or any networked device. Just give each one a name and its IP address (like 192.168.1.1). You can add as many as you need.
Every few seconds, Pinger sends a quick 'ping' to each device asking 'are you there?' If the device responds, great! If it doesn't respond after a few tries, Pinger knows something is wrong.
Here's the clever part: Pinger's cloud system expects to hear from each location every 30 seconds. If a location goes silent for 90 seconds, the cloud knows that site's internet is down and sends you an alert - even though the local system can't reach you.
The moment a device stops responding OR a location goes offline, Pinger sends you an email. No complicated setup - the cloud handles all the email delivery automatically. You'll know about problems within 90 seconds, even if you're not at the office.
If multiple devices go down at once (like during a power outage), Pinger groups them into one email so you don't get flooded. But if you mark a device as 'critical', it always sends an immediate alert.
When devices come back online, you get a recovery email so you know everything is working again. You can also check the web dashboard anytime to see the current status of all your devices.
Know immediately when a remote site's internet goes down. Perfect for multi-location organizations.
Know about network issues within seconds, not hours. Fix problems before people start complaining about no internet.
Check your network status from your phone, home, or anywhere with internet. No need to be on-site.
Stop worrying if everything is working. Pinger is always watching, so you don't have to.
Network outages cost money. Whether it's lost sales, productivity, or guest complaints - catching issues fast saves money.
See when problems happened in the past. Useful for identifying patterns or proving uptime to management.
No networking degree required. If you can use email, you can use Pinger. Setup takes minutes, not hours.
The Problem: A summer camp has Wi-Fi access points in 12 cabins, the dining hall, and the office. When one goes down, campers can't connect and parents can't reach their kids. Even worse, if the main internet connection fails, staff might not notice until parents start calling asking why they can't reach anyone.
The Solution: Install Pinger on the office computer. Add all 14 Wi-Fi access points. Mark the office and dining hall as 'critical'. Enable cloud sync so Pinger can monitor the camp's internet connection.
The Result: At 2 PM, the main internet line goes down. Within 90 seconds, the camp director gets an email: "Camp Office is offline." They call the ISP immediately. Meanwhile, at 3 PM, a cabin's Wi-Fi access point loses power. Once internet is restored, they get an alert: "Cabin 7 Wi-Fi is offline." They send maintenance to check it. Both issues resolved quickly because they knew about them immediately.
Yes! This is one of Pinger's best features. The cloud expects to hear from each location every 30 seconds. If your internet goes down, the cloud stops receiving updates and sends you an alert within 90 seconds - even though your local system can't reach you.
No! If you know what an IP address is (like 192.168.1.1), you can set up Pinger. The interface is simple and straightforward.
That's exactly what Pinger is designed to detect! The cloud monitors each location's internet connection. When a site goes offline, you get an alert immediately. This works even during complete internet outages.
No. Pinger groups multiple failures into one email. You can also mark devices as critical for immediate alerts, or non-critical for less urgent notifications.
Anything with an IP address that responds to ping: routers, switches, Wi-Fi access points, servers, printers, cameras, smart devices, and more.
Yes! Install Pinger at each location and manage everything from one web dashboard. Perfect for organizations with multiple buildings or sites.
