Linksys / Cisco WRT 120N - Monitor Internet Usage In LAN?
Feb 7, 2013
I have a small Network at my office, all done by myself with my limited knowledge. I have 9 systems connected thru physical LAN and 1 laptop connected through Wireless (from my internet router)I have distributed the internet connection openly, not using a proxy server. Anyone plugs in will get Internet on their system through the DHCP.Recently I found that internet usage been crossing the limits.sniff/monitor internet/bandwidth usage system wise.I have a internet router (Linksys/Cisco WRT 120N) from which the cable goes to an un-managed 8 port switch.I have three different areas in my office, so I pulled single cable to each of these areas and there I used another un-managed 8 port switch to distribute the LAN to the systems.

In the company I work for, employees' internet traffic is monitored, and if you download too much, you get a warning, and later there might be more serious consequences. But they don't tell how many kilobytes are too much, and they also don't tell, how much of your "kilobyte budget" you have spent already. So I want to be able to monitor my own internet activity. However, all the programs I found so far watch the whole traffic going through the network card, which, beside the internet usage, includes LAN and mail server communication, which don't count. So, I'm looking for a free portable program that can monitor specifically my browser's internet usage, i.e. the number of kilobytes sent and received by the browser application. It is imperative that the program should be portable, or at least installable without administrator privileges, because I don't have that.

I have 4 laptops (WiFi), 2 desktops (LAN), xbox (LAN), and dish receiver (LAN) that are all connected to the internet using the method between the brackets. Recently i am running out of bandwidth, and what i am looking for is a freeware that i can install in one of the computers that could tell me which IP or MAC address used how much internet.I have read several articles: some articles point me to softwares which only monitor the computer that they are installed. Other posts argued that such thing can only be done through the main router. I know my router doesn't have such feature. I use SMC router.

I am trying to figure out how I can see what my monthly total bandwidth usage is. I have been trying to find a way to monitor my internet usage so I can make an informed decision on ISPs. one has a cap but allows ESPN3, the other is the opposite on both accounts. everything I have been finding look like good products however they all look like they are for an individual device. I have about ten devices and not all would have the ability to have these programs on them. I have and old xp machine that really is only good as a paper weight, If I had to I could make it a proxy but before I do that and create a major bottleneck I wanted to see if there were any other options

I've got a WAG120n but no ADSL connection at the moment, so I'd like to use the WAG as a basic wireless router to connect my desktop (via ethernet cable), laptop and Xbox 360 (both via wireless) - both the computers are running Windows 7.
I've tried all sorts of settings, including disabling DHCP, but it seems that as soon as I add any wireless security (have tried various options - WPA2, WPA, WEP) I can no longer connect - it generally tells me that the passkey is incorrect even though I've tried and retried several times with different keys etc. Am I missing something fundamental here?

I want to use MRTG to monitor my DSL connection bandwidth useage.
Should I monitor:
ATM 0/3/0 or
Dialer 1 or
Virtual-Access 2
ps. is the 'BW' aspect of show interfaces important? I have 56Kbit/sec on Dialer 1, 100,000 Kbit/sec on Dialer 1 and 1024Kbit/sec on ATM.

Is there any way to monitor and plot graphs against the data usage for each local pool configured on Cisco 7609. I have a CISCO 7609 that is acting as RAS for PPPoE Customers and have mulitple local pools (/24) configured on it. What is requried is a graph that shows data usage of each pool separately ( I can plot usage against each IP but that is not requried here, I need data usage (MRTG) for each complete local pool).

I have WAG-120N ADSL Modem+Router which I am using for the last two years. Recently It has started taking about 2-3 minutes to show any sign of life after it is powered on. When powered ON no light comes up until 2-3 minutes. Then Internet light goes red for about 2 seconds then power light goes on followed by all lights then it starts booting normally i.e. Power light stars blinking, WiFi light blinking, power light stabilizes, DSL light starts blinking, WiFi light stabilizes followed by DSL & Internet. When ON it works perfectly alright until switched off.

however recently when i check my internet usage log on my wireless company (Rogers) the usage is totally off from what my bandwidth tracker shows me. So i decide to turn off my wifi and see what happens, there has always been this weird wifi connection appearing whenever my wifi appears, then afterwards when i turn off my wifi the suspicious wifi connections disappear. is this possible that someone is using our wifi? i might just be overreacting but it has brought me to concern that if the usage continues my family will have to end up paying over $30 for extra internet use. it is very frustrating me because when i check my DHCP client table it only shows 3 connection, ethernet - my desktop which is not turned on, 2 wireless connection - my laptop and my sister's laptop.

I just got optical fiber installed in my place which gives me great download speeds. Now my ISP has a monthly download limit of 120GB, after that I gotta pay overages.Now my setup is like this: Fiber modem (1 port) -> Linksys E3000 router (4 ports + wifi).All my gear is hooked up to the Linksys router (xbox, ps3, media center, office pc & 2 laptops).I would like to keep track of the total "internet" bandwidth use of all devices, but exclude the normal network traffic, as that of course I don't pay for.Is there something that I can install on the Linksys router that can keep track of that kinda of information? router (4 ports + wifi).

I'm having trouble setting up a wireless internet connection for my computers, I connected the patch cable from my modem to a wireless router, then connected to that network with a usb for my computer.I was able to connect to the network, but couldn't seem to actually get into the internet. Is there any solutions to this?
When doing ipconfig /all, the message I get is:
Windows IP Configuration

A short while ago, I had my data backed up onto a new HDD, as the old one was showing signs of failing soon. When I got the computer back, I noticed a problem where I need to constantly hit "Diagnose" in the Wireless Network Connection Status to get my internet working again. When it gets into this stage, several websites continue to work, I don't lose my connection to them. Some websites I can still connect to without a problem. However, many websites, even google, keep giving an error that the host could not be found. It appears that it stops accepting new connections until I reset the wireless card. My Laptop (using wireless) and other PC (Connected directly) have had no issues at all with our wireless router.

ISP has recently announced that they are going to start charging $1 for every GB that their customers go over their monthly limit. i have a 100GB/mo package and i figure that's sufficient for my habits which consist of approx 40GB of torrents, a bit of skyping, bit of browsing, etc. my ISP makes usage graphs available online, when i checked earlier last month to confirm i'm staying under my 100GB limit the graphs said over the past 12 months the highest i topped was 90GB, usually in the 70's. pretty much what i expected. but when i check their usage graphs again recently it says i've been using over 400GB for the past 3 months straight (as far back as the new graphs go). i call BS and find it very suspicious that my internet usage magically quadruples the same time my ISP wants to start charging for overusage, especially retro-active.
anyhoo, i want to somehow monitor my internet traffic usage independently but i'm not sure the best way to go about it.my home network is the typical modem -> router -> LAN.my router is a new netgear wndr3700, it has a traffic meter built in, but considering it's only forms of notification is cutting the internet off altogether or changing a green blinking LED to and orange blinking LED when the defined limit is reached, it's kinda useless. i just got it a couple months ago too, so buying a new router with better traffic monitoring isn't an option.i could put a net meter on each and every computer i have, then sum up their usage stats, but that would be a pain in the ass and wouldn't take my PS3 or WDTV media player into account, as little as they're used online.my prefered solution is to use an old laptop i hardly touch anymore and set it up as a gateway and share the internet connection or make it a proxy server. that way i could set up a net meter on just the one NIC on that to track my internet usage. modem -> laptop -> router -> LAN. the problem i have hear is forwarding ports from one NIC to the other so they can then get ditributed by the router, never tried this before, not sure how to go about it. right now it has XP home, but i can put 7 on it if that's better to work with.

I have a cable modem with a wireless router attached.There are 2 laptops that connect to the internet via the router. I've never been able to get the hard wired desktop to connect to the internet via the router, so, when the desktop is used, the router is disconnected from the modem and the desktop is connected.I do not have free access to the modem, router or desktop devices, but I do have free access to the 2 laptops.I would like to be able to install on one of the laptops, something that would keep track of the internet connectivity.
I know that even when the router is disconnected from the modem, it is still sending it's wireless signal (most likely) but it's not connected to the internet anymore.So, I would like to be able to know the date and time the router looses internet connectivity and the date and time it gets the connectivity back every time this happens.I would love to be able to monitor the activity that takes place on the internet during that time frame, but know it's not possible when all I have access to is a wirelessly connected laptop that would lose the internet connectivity. So, it would be good just to be able to know when the router is disconnected and how long it is disconnected.

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to monitor how much bandwidth is being consumed at any given moment for a home network.specifically, for the incoming/outgoing internet connection.My network is as thus:
DSL Modem -> Wifi Router (Linksys E4200v1 - PPPoE enabled here) -> Gigabit switch -> 2nd Wifi router (D-Link DIR-815 - DHCP disabled, repeats same SSID and password)
Most devices are connected directly into the switch, with one computer hard-plugged into the DIR-815 (I will eventually change this, as the 815 only has 10/100 ports).Basically, I want to easily be able to check how much up/down data is being sent for my internet connection. This means that I cannot use a program on a computer (I've used DL Meter before. Works great, but limited to a single computer).
The Linksys E4200v1 is using standard firmware, but I'm not opposed to loading DD-WRT onto it (was the original plan anyway, just never got around to it), if DD-WRT has this capability.Nice to have feature: Ability to see which devices are consuming what part of the bandwidth. Not necessary, but would be a cool feature.Alternatively, if there is a cheap (like $100 or less deal) box that can interface, say, between the E4200 and the switch, that can do this, that would work as well.
