DizzyKipper Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I wanted to get to one of the white boxes that monitored your connection from SamKnows, but after the completing the first two steps, and waiting for it to arrive I got an email saying they had enough people! It would be nice to see what's going on. Does anyone have any recommendations? Software needs be free/open source and take minimal resources.

smeghead Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Most routers have a logging facility built into them, just gotta switch it on. Depending on the router, they'll save different amounts of information. Also open up a Command Prompt and type in 'netstat -a' this will show you all open connections on the pc your currently on. Hope that helps ye a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thanks I will have a look. There are 2 logs that I can easily get to, but I was kinda hoping for something that would make a pretty graph or two to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyKipper Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I just found some It might help people monitor their connection, esp those having problems. It doesn't have my router model so I just picked any Belkin, put in my IP for it and it worked first time. MY router stats are available without having to log in to it so I didn't have to add my login details either. http://vwlowen.co.uk/internet/files.htm#routerstatslite I downloaded the 'Lite' version which requires no install. It monitors your ping, sync rate (your connection speed to the exchange), and SNR. Takes a few minutes before you start seeing graphs. Possibly a bit boring for a good connection. The examples are interesting though, appraching storms and such. NOTE it won't monitor your data speed like Speedtest does - it's not what it's for. There is also a 'full-fat' version as well. Hope that helps some people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
