With remote workers and branches becoming the new norm, you need a way to troubleshoot issues remotely. And fast.
Remote work is the new normal, and many employees feel more productive working from home. But when remote workers face network issues, it creates challenges for managers and IT teams.

That’s why having network visibility is essential. With a tool like Obkio’s Remote Network Monitoring Tool, both IT teams and remote employees can quickly identify network issues, saving time and reducing disruptions.
Whether the problem is with the user’s device, their local network, or the ISP, Obkio pinpoints it fast, keeping productivity on track and remote work running smoothly.

Pinpoint Where Remote Network Issues Happened
Now that you know there is an issue, Obkio’s Remote Network Monitoring tool uncovers the source for you.
When network issues occur, it’s important to know exactly where they’re coming from—whether it’s a user workstation, Wi-Fi, LAN, or ISP issue. Obkio makes it easy to pinpoint the source of the problem with Obkio Vision, our visual traceroute tool that tracks the path of data between remote users and key network locations.
By isolating the source of the issue, Obkio helps ensure a faster resolution, whether the problem is internal or external.
It Is A User, WiFi, LAN or ISP Issue?
Studies show that 80% of issues at remote sites stem from the local loop - the final stretch of the circuit, typically the Internet provider’s "last mile." Obkio helps identify if the problem lies within this crucial segment.
It could also be a user workstation issue, where problems arise from the user’s device, Wi-Fi connection, router, or modem, all the way to the ISP. With Obkio, you can still monitor the performance of the user’s workstation in real-time, regardless of where the issue lies, giving your IT team the insights they need to address the root cause quickly.
Diagnose the Root Cause of Network Problems With Obkio’s Remote Network Monitoring Tool
When remote network issues arise, you need to troubleshoot fast. Even from far, Obkio identifies the causes in minutes.
Now that you're aware of a performance issue the next crucial step is to understand why these issues are happening. Obkio's Remote Network Monitoring tool is your key to unravelling the root causes so you can torubleshoot and maintain reliable performance for remote users.
Network Congestion on the Last Mile
Often, issues stem from the last mile—the final segment of the network between the service provider and the remote site. Network congestion here can cause slow speeds and interruptions.
Wi-Fi and LAN Issues
Wi-Fi connectivity can be affected by interference, distance, or hardware limitations. Similarly, LAN issues—such as poor cabling or configuration problems—can disrupt local network performance.
User Devices or Workstation Issues
Sometimes, the problem is with the user’s device or workstation. It could be due to outdated software, configuration problems, or local network settings that affect performance.
Internet Circuit Issues
Faults in the internet circuit, such as a misconfigured or underperforming connection, can also cause network slowdowns or instability, impacting remote work.
ISP Issues
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are another common source of issues. Problems could include outages, throttling, or maintenance affecting the quality of the connection to the internet.
Troubleshoot Remote Network Issues From Wherever You Are
With Obkio, troubleshooting remote network issues becomes a straightforward process, no matter where you are.
By analyzing the centralized dashboard, IT teams can quickly assess where the issue is occurring—whether it's on the user’s side, the network, or the ISP’s side.
The first step in troubleshooting is replicating the problem. Obkio allows you to simulate the issue from any point of view, giving you the ability to recreate and investigate the problem remotely, without needing to be on-site.
Internal Network Issues:
If the issue is related to your internal network—whether it’s the user’s workstation, Wi-Fi, LAN, or other internal components—Obkio’s data will clearly highlight the root cause. From poor local network configuration to device-specific issues, you’ll get the insights needed to resolve the problem directly. Once identified, your IT team can take action to fix it internally and restore optimal performance.
ISP Network Issues:
If the data indicates the problem lies with the ISP, Obkio provides you with detailed performance metrics to support your case. Armed with this data, you’ll be able to open a service call with the provider, ensuring they address the issue quickly. Obkio helps pinpoint if the issue is with the internet circuit, the last mile, or other external factors, so you’re not left in the dark when dealing with your ISP.
This remote troubleshooting capability ensures that IT teams can quickly identify and resolve issues, keeping remote users connected and minimizing downtime.
