b/w monitor on modem router

tomcat · 13 Jan 2011 at 15:31

Is there any modem router that has a bandwidth monitoring (like dd-wrt) or custom firmware that allows that? By bandwidth monitoring i mean showing the download and upload speed of the wan.

also, i have a DG834GT flashed with dgteam firmware where i can activate SNMP. Is there any client or software that i have to install in order to pull data out of the router modem in order to check the bandwidth?

thanks for your help

sorry to bring this post back from dead...but i have noticed that the new dsl-n55u from asus is offering real time traffic monitor of bandwidth for internet, wired and wireless.

Is this working ok?

I'm also aware of fritz box that offers the same graph monitor.

Are there any other adsl routers that you are aware of to offer same feature please?

thanks for your help

Many do and almost all routers with custom firmware distributions will have bandwidth graphs.

The rest that do not usually will support SNMP that will let you graph from a SNMP client on any PC.

yeap, but not all adsl routers have bandwidth monitor and also very few have custom firmware developed on them with bandwidth monitor.

thanks for all the replies..
by using a separate modem and separate router i can get the real time bandwidth stats/graphs, with a router running dd-wrt or tomato..

my issue is a combined modem/router that has those stats.

At the moment i know only Asus dsl-n55u that does that, from what i have seen from their site, (i do not own one) and also the fritz box...both of which are very expensive.

are you aware of any other modem/router combined that has those stats?

at the moment i have an asus-N12u, which is a good modem/router but unfortunately does not have such graph and it does not have snmp either, although i think is running linux..(??). Before i buy it, i asked asus support if such graphs exist on this model and if there is snmp support and they told me yes. After i bought it i realised it had none..!! so -1 for asus advice..
