    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to redirect internet clients for media monitoring. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes memory, instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to detect connections between client devices and a first WI-FI connection point, the client devices connected to the first WI-FI connection point via a second WI-FI connection point, when a first number of the connections is less than a second number of possible connections to the first WI-FI connection point, generate an additional connection to the first WI-FI connection point, the additional connection corresponding to at least one of the client devices, and route the client devices to the first WI-FI connection point via the first number of connections and the additional connection.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to monitor wireless traffic. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: establish, via a first wireless interface, a wireless connection with first network credentials to match second network credentials of a primary access point; monitor traffic via a second wireless interface, the second wireless interface different than the first wireless interface; identify, via the traffic monitored via the second wireless interface, a connection of a client to the primary access point; capture, via an alternate access point, a management frame transmitted from the primary access point to the client; insert a change channel announcement into the captured management frame; and re-transmit, via the first wireless interface, the captured management frame including the change channel announcement.

    摘要: Example levitating meter apparatus are disclosed. An example metering system includes a meter having a display to present indicia associated with a panelist. The meter has a microphone to receive audio output from a media device and circuitry to perform media monitoring. A base includes a cavity to receive at least a portion of the meter. The meter to magnetically levitate relative to the base to decouple the meter from the base. The base and the meter structured to fix a rotational position of the meter relative to the base when the at least the portion of the meter is received by the cavity of the base and the meter levitates relative to the base.

    摘要: A disclosed example meter to monitor a media device includes a touch sense circuit including a circuit input and a circuit output, the circuit input to electrically couple with a first power line of the meter and a capacitor, the circuit output to provide a first value based on the capacitor when the first power line of the meter is not electrically coupled with a second power line of the media device, the circuit output to provide a second value different from the first value when the first power line of the meter is electrically coupled with the second power line of the media device. The disclosed example meter also includes at least one processor to detect the first power line of the meter is not electrically coupled with the second power line of the media device when the circuit output of the touch sense circuit provides the first value.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to monitor WI-FI media streaming using alternate access points. An example apparatus disclosed herein monitor wireless traffic includes an example traffic monitor to identify a connection of a WI-FI client to a primary access point and capture a management frame transmitted from the primary access point to the WI-FI client. The example apparatus further includes an example frame generator to insert a change channel announcement into the captured management frame and a router to cause a wireless interface to transmit the beacon frame to the WI-FI client.

    摘要: Example invertible metering apparatus and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes at least one processor and memory including instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to at least: determine an orientation of a housing; determine if a housing is in a mounting orientation; in response to determining that the housing is not in the mounting orientation, initiate a first alarm; in response to determining that the housing is in the mounting orientation, determine an orientation of a stencil; determine if the stencil is in an upright orientation; in response to determining that stencil is not in the upright orientation, initiate a second alarm; and in response to at least one of the housing being in the mounting orientation or the stencil being in the upright orientation, assign a light pattern to a plurality of lights associated with the stencil.
