Hello. I currently have a Netgear DGND3700v2 wifi router.
I'm currently connected via regular phone line. my TV/Tivo & main PC are hard-wired into the router, but I have other systems / devices connected via wifi.
Now, I saw a TV recording of FAIR GO, where they had 1 person setting up a wifi zone at a local cafe & can see "EVERYTHING" a person was doing when they used the false wifi service. (this was just a demo, & the people involved knew what the fake service was for)..
NOW, I dont "need" to upgrade, but I am thinking of upgrading my router.
Is there any routers available in NZ (either through Spark or Dick Smith Electronics) that will enable me to monitor the wifi users ?
I dont want to hack anyone or spy on exactly what the devices are doing on the wifi network as shown in the Fair Go story.
I want to:
- see how many devices are currently connected
- the upload / download speeds in KBs (or MBs?) each device is using (the NETT total and for each device)
- regulate how much of the bandwidth each device is using. IE, if someone uses Skype, I can allocate 80% of bandwidth to them, leaving 20% for me etc...
- also a record of the nett bandwidth each hour / day / month (even if "my" PC is turned off, it will still record & i can get the data when i get back online.)
The current NETGEAR wifi router has only basic levels of logging & it usually has 000Mb one hour, but next time I check, it has data.. but then another time, its back to 000MB - so its not reliable.
Currently I can use QoS Priority Rule list, & give priority to devices - but that does not give an ability to "reserve" bandwidth for people to use. Sometimes things get slow for some devices...
Is there a current PERSONAL USE wifi router that can do these ? (not a corporate / business router at exaggerated prices.)
Thank you
