Raspberry Pi: https://amzn.to/3WUT8Ij Micro SD Card: https://amzn.to/3US0ZUz Ethernet Cable: https://amzn.to/3K8BcT7 Orb is software designed to monitor various aspects of your network. Instead of just tracking your network's speed, Orb considers two other pieces: its reliability and responsiveness. These are just as important as the point of a fast connection if it drops out constantly or has a large ping. You can even set up multiple Orb sensors and have them tied to a single account. This ability opens up several advantages such as being able to monitor various aspects of a home network easily. For example, with a multi-level home, you can set up Pi's around the place to see how your Wi-Fi is actually performing, not just how fast it is. The Raspberry Pi is a perfect candidate for working as an Orb sensor because it is such a low-powered device. This means you can effectively keep it running without adding a ton to your power bill. They are also easy to set up in hidden places around a network to discretely monitor your network connection.
