NETGEAR 834

I have two computers connected and i want to measure the Total Download (I have Talk Talk) at the router,Any Suggestions?

There is a method for getting more detailed stats from your Netgear DG834G.

First click http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?todo=debug to enable a telnet daemon on your router.

Then open a Window's command prompt by Start->Run cmd [enter]

Then

telnet 192.168.0.1

and

cat /proc/avalanche/avsar_modem_stats

or

adslctl info --stats

One of the first lines should be similar to

US Payload : 2915520 DS Payload: 32199744

which I think is the number of bytes transferred up and down stream.

Thanks

I use this script to get the stats in a browser window

Whoops:::::I think the link got mangled,anyways if you wish to try this join this together and I have saved it as a bookmark because no body could remember this script

The original problem though still remains,because if you reboot the router all the counters are set to 0 , so perhaps a script that gets the info from the router periodically and then saves ity might be an inelegant solution to the problem , unless netgear do an upgrade.

My way is easier to remember!

I got a browser cross-site scripting alert when I clicked on your link (neither did it produce any output when I allowed it to run on my Netgear model - DG834GSPv3).

PRTG?

No SNMP on some Netgears (Certainly up to DG834GT) so no PRTG on those. Corrected as advised later ones do!

The link as you edited works (if I disable cross-site scripting checks).

Depends on the model. My Netgear DG834GSPv3 supports SNMP. I'm using it at the moment with MRTG (a Linux tool for graphing usage stats).

Stand corrected. Edited to suit. Thanks!

You have to use "hidden" pages to enable SNMP and then enable the inbound/outbound SNMP, SNMP-TRAPS services. The exact procedure seems to vary by model and firmware version.

This may be of interest.
