MCSE that retired 14 years ago, so I “THINK” I remember very little:)
Obviously not looking for an enterprise solution. I do, however, think a lot of you will feel my pain!
The wife and I are old, and have little to do other than watch TV. We use Roku. We are consistently going over our cap of 1,536GB/month. I suspect it’s the Roku, but I need to be sure.
I’m reasonably sure we have no viruses or malware, I see no unknown devices listed in their Arris modem, so again, I’m reasonably sure no one has been using our internet.
Thing is, we don’t watch much HD. We watch re-runs of the oldies. You know, the shows that don’t fill the whole TV screen.
The first couple months since we hooked up with AT&T (January of this year) we used only 850 GB., but it’s been slowly increasing. AT&T charges $10.00 for every 50 GB we go over!
The modem does not allow me to look at individual device usage. I cannot, so far, find an access point that will. Will this product do the trick? I don’t mind playing with Linux again:)
If this product won’t do what I want, does any one know of anything that will? Or a router that will, or even an ISP that has a router that’ll help me?
I depends. The main problem in your environment would be the device that provides the traffic information is missing. Normally this will be the access point in your house or a manageable switch where you know the port of the connected AP.
With your description i also don’t know any easy solution.
Inside the normal consumer market it is hard to find access points that provide per device statistics.
Yeah, pretty much the same with everything else I’ve checked.
Currently paying $56/month for 75 Mb with AT&T. Xfinity will be installed the 18th. $63/month, no cap at 300 Mb. I was kinda looking forward to playing with Linux;)
Dude, I found the perfect solution. Xfinity has a plan for unlimited, for only $7.mo, more. 4 X faster, too. Though we don’t really need that much speed.
