I have 2 laptops and 2 smartphones which, when at home, use the home's WiFi Internet connection via a Belkin Wireless N+ 802.11n Router. All these devices have different operating systems.

Is there a way I can measure the total bandwidth used each month for all uploads+downloads via that WiFi router, without having to install some app to do this on each device?

Edit: Router details as below:

  • Firmware Version: 2.00.04 (Nov 12 2008 10:51:08)
  • Boot Version: v0.05
  • Hardware (Model No.?): Belkin Wireless N+ 802.11n - F5D8236-4 v2 (01)

You may want to include your exact router model number. – techie007 Jun 15 '11 at 17:55
If your router supports DD-WRT firmware, it will keep very detailed reports on bandwidth usage. Post the exact model # of your router. – bwall Jun 15 '11 at 17:56
@techie007 @bwall I added the WiFi router details in the question – zeiger Jun 15 '11 at 19:41

Ok, that model of router is known to be incompatible with DD-WRT. Doing it at the router is probably the only option that fits your criteria as stated above (OS independent). You could buy a router that has this feature built-in (very few do), or buy a router that's compatible with DD-WRT. Here's the list of routers that are supported by DD-WRT : dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices – bwall Jun 15 '11 at 20:05
@bwall Thanks :) Could you please post this as an answer so I could mark it? – zeiger Jun 20 '11 at 9:37
