Bandwidth monitoring for my Router

Colin_da_Killer · 10 Mar 2006 at 23:34

Hi all.

I would like to know of any program which monitors bandwidth usage? Basically I want to know which computer is using what ever amount of bandwidth at any given time. I have a Netgear DG814.

Thanks.

Netlimiter won't monitor the router though, only the PC (or PCs) that it is installed on.

To monitor the router you need some sort of SNMP monitoring, something like MRTG, PRTG or Cacti would do the trick. But, the DG814 doesn't support SNMP so I don't think you can do what you want.

Even if the 814 did support SNMP, MRTG et al would only give you the total throughput - not what each port was doing.

I have no idea what you guys just said. :confused:

It's not possible without a) installing something on each machine or b) replacing the router.
