Re: Questions It's at the Modem, i. e., the meter measures usage (up & down) for your Comcast account. I presume for most of us that if the dynamic IP address changes, which happens rarely, that it's pegged to one's account not IP address. For a Windows computer, if you're interested in individual computer network usage, install something like Netmeter. However, Netmeter's reports show total network usage for a computer, so if you fileshare in your home network or have networked printers, that usage is included in the reports. I'm not sure what's available for non-Windows machines, gaming consoles or streaming audio/video players such as Roku.

For anyone who REALLY needs to filter out local LAN traffic, such as in home file sharing, they can try Networx. I prefer Netmeter as internal LAN traffic isn't that significant for me and I also prefer the interface of Netmeter. | |

Or you can use the Netlimiter 2 Monitor which is freeware and can break out lan vs wan traffic:
