DATurner
New Around Here
Greetings all,
I have a network in which I have 20+ Andriod Devices and several Windows systems and was looking for a Wireless Router in which I could utilize Per IP Bandwidth monitoring and possible alerts. After a couple of weeks of research some of it in this forum I felt comfortable with what I read about IP Traffic monitoring in ASUS Routers with a Merlin Firmware update so I went ahead and ordered and have initially installed an ASUS RT-87 Router.
I plan on flashing the Merlin 378.55 Firmware because from what I have been reading it still supports keeping and displaying Hostnames setup in DHCP reservation lists which is essiential for me.
When I did my initial research I found a really good step by step instruction for setting up per IP Traffic Monitoring which was another link in a tread about bandwidth monitoring, but, now after 2 days of searching I cannot find either the Thread with the instructions or the Link so I signed up and posted this thread.
I am also going to need to setup Bandwidth alerts for when it is too high or to low from specific IPs based on what is running on the systems. Is this possible from within the router? If not am I able to transmit the real time Bandwidth Data to files on a PC either wired or wireless to process with a DataMining program.
I would like to get all my ducks in a row before I upgrade the firmware. I will of course keep searching, but, any input would be appreciated.
Thanks...David T.
