Abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate the usage of the wireless network and monitoring of its bandwidth in Federal Polytechnic Ede, the study became paramount because of the need to ascertain the adequacy of the bandwidth for the Polytechnic community and to also confirm the purpose of usage by the users. Questionnaire and onsite observation are the major instruments used for data acquisition. The results show the uplink and downlink speed of the bandwidth in three different locations in the Polytechnic for three days. It also gives a comparative picture of the network usage among the academic and non-academic staff. The result will however assist the decision makers about the need to upgrade the bandwidth to meet the need of the Polytechnic and create more awareness of the availability of the benefits in the information superhighway.
