1. A method for monitoring and controlling a plurality of RF signal repeater devices for one or more wireless networks, comprising:
validating one or more of the plurality of RF signal repeater devices as members of an Internet of Things (IoT) network, wherein each validated RF signal device is registered with the one or more wireless networks;
determining one or more modes associated with one or more of the registered RF signal repeater devices, wherein the one or more modes include one or more of a donor unit device mode or a service unit device mode; and
configuring the one or more registered RF signal repeater devices based on an association with the one or more determined modes and one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) for the one or more wireless networks, wherein one or more heatmap audits are determined to identify improvement in wireless communication with one or more wireless base stations or one or more other RF signal repeater devices, wherein the one or more heatmap audits include one or more raster scan searches.
