From the README

ESP32 Network Speed Monitor On its own, a device with a single network card (e.g a laptop) has no way of knowing what the current upload and download speeds are of the known wifi networks within its range are. It can detect the signal strength of wifi networks and the router's advertised maximum internet speed and switch to the fastest available networking accordingly, but this doesn't tell the whole story. This slow speed often leaves users looking something like this (especially on university campuses with 5 different wifi network options + hot spots): Our solution is to add a second network card into the equation via an ESP32!
