A family member thinks their internet is having wee outages all the time.

They have an app for some service that thinks this is so. 

Maybe the app is flaky, or the service, or the wifi, or even the internet.

I would like to setup a laptop plugged directly into the router and "monitor" the internet connection.

What would be a good tool to use on a Windows10 PC to do this?

I know I can do ping 8.8.8.8 -t at a cmd prompt, but thats only good really if you are sitting and staring at it all the time.
