Due to ongoing issues with my internet connection I would like to be able to monitor it connection, so I have data on its stability and connection speed.

I have a Synologiy Diskstation DS115j which I understand runs a version of Linux, and have read some threads such as the below on various ways to monitor connection, however yet have got nowhere in terms of following them.

You have to access it via some backdoor method using SSH/telnet (using PuTTY or simular) I think, which gives you a command line interface, then you can follow whats on that thread, maybe? Thats about where my knowlage falls apart as im a mechanical engineer not a software guy! I have head of Cron job, but thats about as far as it goes!

Does any have a link to, or is able to privide, a really basic step by step guide as to what I need to do to get it to log ping reports and do an hourly speedtest?
