Are There Any Home Network Bandwidth Monitoring Tools? - GoFuckYourself.com

SlammedMedia · 11-19-2012, 10:50 AM

I have a wireless network at home and we have a few exchange students that use our connection as well, and then amount of bandwidth they use is ridiculous (skyping back home, etc.) ...and of course they say they don't use any.

I was wondering if there's a tool I can install on my computer that will monitor the networks total bandwidth usage, and not just mine, from my computer?

Thanks

You can view most statistics directly from your router's configuration pages.

You want to set up QoS on your router.

then you can limit by IP.
