monitoring software for wi-fi

hello, im new here!

can anyone recommend anything to monitor a wireless network?
something that would show who's connected, how much bw theyre using, etc. the more options the better.

thanks in advance!

What model of wireless router have you got? Any router will have a screen that tells you who's connected, but it's unlikely that it logs per-client bandwidth.

Syslog or SNMP is the easiest method of monitoring a device. But like sbconslt says,
it'd help to know the exact make / model of of hardware you're running.

I have Asus WL520GC router.
The only thing I was able to find through the routers web interface was mac addresses of connected devices

Look under "Status & Log > DHCP Leases" in the left nav of the admin interface.

Also consider putting a custom firmware like DD-WRT »dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/ASUS_WL-520GC on it to gain more advanced capabilities.

Re: monitoring software for wi-fi

See if there is an option to send logs or similar to an external device / IP.
Then you can setup a spare machine and run something like Kiwi Syslog Server
to get the device's logs.

Perhaps inSSIDer would work for your monitoring?
