How do you track total Bandwidth usage?

Hi

I have the 8800AXL connected to the Virgin Superhub and all is working well - thanks for the instructions billion fan!

Virgin Media does not provide a usage tool and i am often curious to see my usage stats for upload and download. Anyway to do that via the router? I know there is WAN and LAN bandwidth usage but that seems to be real time rather than in the last XY days or a certain period.

Might be a good idea to implement it if there is not an option!

Thanks!

No option, other than using third party software running PC that is measuring your bandwidth.

Tricky as i wanted to track all usage and the router is the best bet.

I take the third party tool will only be able to track the PC it is used on? Or can we set it up to track the gateway, i.e. the router?

I installed the DSl Stats one and that will probably do the trick

I can connect OK but it says No Data return in latest sample. If you have used that program before any idea what CLI Command prefix is used for the 8800AXL?

I could not find the AXL in the dropdown so just selected 8800NL but i don't think it makes such a difference

Thanks again!

Yep use the 8800NL setup, as they share the same interface
