Re: Bandwidth Limits - Meter

If you are a Comcast customer, then you already have a bandwidth monitor - in the free McAfee security package tools:Open Security Center/Tools/Traffic Monitor.

I don't know if this is a new or old feature, but I am amazed that there has been so much fuss about Comcast not supplying a metering solution. Apparently even Comcast doesn't know about it.

That monitors the traffic on one computer, not all the traffic from the user's LAN.

Would be nice to have something on their end to show WAN traffic only.

Why would DD-WRT not work? I have an older version that doesn't have a bandwidth monitor, but AFAIK, the newest versions do monitor bandwidth usage, from everything that's connected (PCs, Macs, Xbox, PS3, Apple TV, etc...).

Because it's not supported by his router.

THAT post is when I had a D-Link and DD-WRT does not work on a DI624 REV C router.

Since then, a *GOOD* friend bought me a WRT54G, flashed DD-WRT on it, and sent it to me.
No worries.
