Re: HN9000 FAP Monitor
If you have just one PC there are any numbers of ways to keep track of packets in/out (many software firewalls have such a feature), but if you have a small network that approach would be problematic.
Just spitballing a bit as I'm in the same boat as you. If you can't get real-time usage data off the HN9000 (which is obvious place to get it) how about getting it from the router/gateway. Theoretically, you should get the same usage info from the gateway and HN9000. Haven't tried either one of these ideas yet (I've used DD-WRT before but didn't play with its SNMP implementation) , but will.
1. Most residential routers standard firmware don't support SNMP. But there are 3rd-party firmware that do (flavors of DD-WRT). I wonder what a combo of: Linksys (or other supported router) running SNMP via DD-WRT and and a free SNMP monitoring tool such as cacti or STG would get you.
2. Tomato, another 3rd-party firmware, has bandwidth monitoring tools built-in. |
