[Dorset] [OT] ADSL Router monitoring
Has anybody come across any software that will monitor a ADSL router and record the bandwidth and record incoming and out going traffic by device or IP address. The problem is a colleague has an ADSL connection which he swears blind he is not using as much as the bandwidth is suggesting. In an attempt to see what is going on I am looking for some software that will monitor the router so we can see what traffic is going to and from the router and from what device. Any suggestion?

Change the authentication details anyway?

If more than one, or includes Wifi, then can one port be mapped to another and run a computer with Wireshark on it to monitor usage?

Depending on the firmware you could try the routertech diagnostic software. Worked for me on a modem. Otherwise can you put something like dd-wrt firmware on it and log the bandwidth? Otherwise route through another box to the modem which can log bandwidth? I guess I am asking "what router is it?"
