Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer v1.7.0 on GitHub

v1.7.0 adds Performance and Cellular Data Savings checks to the Config Optimizer, plus speed test trace enrichment that shows device-level settings along the network path.

What's New Since v1.4.0

For users upgrading from older versions, here's what you've missed:

Client Performance dashboard (v1.6.0) - Per-client signal quality, walk-test GPS mapping, connection history, and roaming events
Planned AP placement (v1.6.0) - Place any AP model from a 30+ model catalog on your floor plan to simulate coverage before buying hardware
Signal Map floor plan editor (v1.5.0) - Draw building layouts with wall materials, place APs, and see real-time RF propagation heatmaps with per-band TX power simulation
Gateway-direct WAN speed testing (v1.4.1) - Speed tests directly from your UniFi gateway against Cloudflare's edge network
WAN upload accuracy fix (v1.6.4) - Increased concurrent streams and fixed connection reuse for more accurate upload measurements
Better Apple device detection (v1.6.6) - HomePods and Apple TVs correctly identified via MAC OUI when UniFi fingerprints are generic

See v1.6.0, v1.5.0, and v1.4.0 release notes for the full breakdown.

Config Optimizer

Performance checks - New analyzer evaluates hardware acceleration, jumbo frames, and flow control settings across your switches and gateway. Detects devices using per-device overrides instead of inheriting global switch settings, and suggests absorbing the global config when they match.
Cellular Data Savings - For networks with a cellular modem (LTE/5G), checks QoS rule coverage across streaming, downloads, gaming, and VoIP categories. Severity adjusts based on whether the cellular WAN is failover-only or load-balanced, and whether your data plan has a cap.
UX improvements - Section headers highlight based on severity, unchecked sections preserve existing results until the next run, and various layout polish.

LAN Speed Test

Trace enrichment - Speed test network path traces now show jumbo frames, flow control, and hardware acceleration status per hop. Switches show jumbo + flow control, gateways show jumbo + hardware acceleration. APs are excluded (confirmed via SSH they don't participate in global switch settings).

Client Performance

Bug fixes - Fixed empty state messaging, latency display, speed unit colors, and default time range when linking from other pages.

Fixes

Password reset script - Fixed password capture on macOS/Linux, BSD sed compatibility, and dynamic install directory detection.

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)"

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