Recommend Free Realtime Network Usage Prog?

Can anyone recommend a program that shows realtime (in bar graph form) network usage for both wireless and wire usage,or does windows 10 even have a built in program?. I was hoping my Linksys router would have such a feature but it doesnt appear to, thanks

Task manager is quite basic, but shows you network usage.

That just shows activity on the PC though doesnt it, it wouldnt show wireless activity on the network like consoles and phones?

In that case, Unless all traffic is running through the PC (IE is being used as a router) then this isn't possible. You'd need to find something at router level which, as you say, yours doesn't have it.

Ah ok is there a 3rd party app that can commicate at router level then?

if your router allows snmp then you can use

a bit of trial an error (if your not familiar with such tools) but you should be able to get a reasonable insight into usage without to much trouble.

there are other snmp tools like above for free but there not a pretty

Apparently the Linksys EA9600 router doesnt support snmp
