Meter that can measure router throughput ?

[HepDude]

Hi!

I've come across many products (like "DU Meter") that can measure the throughput being received by any network adapter on my PC.

But, what I really want is a meter to show the current throughput being received by the router of my home LAN from the cable modem (ie the throughput of the cable modem itself).

Does anyone know of such a product?

Could u just hook the modem to ur box temporarily and run DU meter? Thats all I can think of really.

I'm looking for a more long-term solution.

can you use docsdiag on the modem? if you have SNMP read access you can setup mrtg or another snmp viewer to track bandwidth.

some routers have this feature built in. others have applications made specifically for them, linksys logger being the most popular.

The router is a Netgear MR814 - I doubt it has SNMP.

Link Logger does appear to support Netgear:

Internet Connection Speed Test

Not sure if that's what you're looking for though.

Sandra will do networked computer to computer speed testing though.
