Hello all,

A question about TX Rate(Bps) on my routers Physical Connection status page. This figure is showing a lot between 15000 and 33000, and I wanted to ask if this is bits per second (so 33000/8 = 4.125 Kilabits per second) or whether it is already Kb/s and I am constantly uploading 30kbs (I only get 40Kbs ul max)

Secondly, is the Vigor accurate, and only counts packets leaving the router via the WAN interface?

I am pulling my hair out because I am monitoring my PCs, and they are not really doing anything on the network when idle, yet I am seeing seemingly large, constant upload stream?

you can't really work out throughput from the online status page (because those packets could be tiny or reaching the full MTU), it's better to check the diagnostics - data flow monitor, that'll also show which IP is using bandwidth.

Thanks Voodle, I have looked at the data flow monitor page, it's just that the status page does state (Bps) so I figured it was okay to use There is a packet counter next to it though.

Is the information in the Data Flow Monitor page logged anywhere?

Alan.

Hmm I might actually be thinking of the 2600 when I say you can't work out the sizes from the online status page (I don't check it often), those figures on the online status page might be accurate after all. The data flow monitor information isn't logged, you should look at smart monitor if you want logging of data usage per IP but that's separate software that needs to run on a PC

OK Thanks Voodle

I will keep an eye on it and use a combination of the two.

Alan.
