Anyone who knows how to monitor usage of wireless bandwith and number of connections to the router?
I know i can restrict usage of router I am interested in seeing usage of current users connected to it.
Anyone ?
A:
I'm going on a limb and suggesting Wireshark might be able to help you. But I don't think that's really what it's intended for. There are so many features in that program that it still makes my brain ache to use it.
Check it out anyway, it sounds like this is the kind of application that would be useful to someone who's monitoring connections.

No home routers that I am aware of support bandwidth accounting. Your choices are to get a Cisco or Juniper router, load modified firmware into your home router or build one using an old PC and some sort of router distro.

You really didn't tell us much about your platform or the type of router, however these things are usually highly hardware-specific. Normally, this type of info will be exposed via some sort of administration interface that's usually accessible via telnet. Also, routers will usually have a dedicated SNMP port.
