1. A system for monitoring and optimizing network performance to a wireless device comprising:
- a first wireless router in direct communication with said wireless device for transmitting and receiving RF signals between said first wireless router and said wireless device, said wireless router configured to;
count the total of said data packets being communicated via said wireless router during a time period;
count said data packets including real-time content being communicated via said wireless router during said time period;
determine bandwidth of said data packets being communicated via said wireless router;
determine bandwidth of said data packets including real-time content being communicated via said wireless router;
determine network performance information associated with data packets communicated over said wireless router; and
concatenate said network performance information into a performance information packet;
a packet network switch in network communication with said first wireless router for communicating said data packets between said first wireless router and said packet network switch; and
a network management device in communication with said packet network switch for instructing said packet network switch to route said performance information packet to said network management device, said network management device utilizing said network performance information from said performance information packet to;
identify network performance problems associated with the first wireless router;
transmit instructional data packets to the first wireless router that include instructions for optimizing network performance to said wireless device in response to identify a network performance problem associated with the first wireless router.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for monitoring and optimizing network performance to a wireless device that includes determining network performance information of a wireless router and communicating data packets containing the network performance information between said wireless router and a packet network switch. The data packets are communicated from said packet network switch to a network management device. The network management device is configured to instruct the said packet network switch to adjust at least one of encoding/decoding rate and power amount to optimize said network performance to said wireless device.
