does this router have the ability to monitor/track bandwidth and total bandwidth used? My ISP has a bandwidth limit per month and I want to track

This is an older router. The one I bought on Amazon was faulty and was replaced during the 90 day warranty period. The new one works great but I don't know if it does what you want. My recommendation is that you search using the following: How to use your router to monitor bandwidth. Any router that can track it, can monitor it and report it. Perhaps ANY monitor, including this one can. Search before you buy.

I'll take a look tonight at its IPs stats in my router. It should be extremely minimal.

Hi Jeff, to my understanding that is determined more by the level of service available in your area as far as who your Internet provider is. I was very happy with the device itself and the speed of the service in my area. The more traffic there is on the network the slower the speed.

Sadly, I think you (we) are screwed. I was having horrible speeds with Verizon FIOS for a few months (<1Mbs), blaming Verizon and getting 3 new routers when I finally realized while I was on the phone with technical support that all my problems went away when I turned the BestView baby monitor off. I've tried all the channels with no luck. My wife and I just know to turn it off for a minute or two when we need to do some quick browsing. Very annoying...

Could be a bandwidth problem. If N router is also adjustable to B or G, it may be in the B setting. Another thing to check is if you are getting a direct line of site signal or are you getting a bounced signal. With a bounced signal, the signal strength can show good, but data transfer will be pretty slow.Good Luck!!!

since it uses dynamic, not static ip addressing it will change every time power is lost. the only real way is to look at it from the router side via your router's configuration page

This tracker is no good. To be completely honest, you'd be better off saving more money and getting a fluke networks tracker. Just being completely honest...I threw mine away.

The only way you can monitor is if you pay 10 a month for service. it will cost additional $10 a month . I was disappointed when I found I could not monitor without paying for the service too.

thanks for your help ! connected to the router it loading a little faster (like dial-up speed) the speed is listed as 300 mbps. Is this normal? My dell loads like the wind is this normal for $400 computer vs a $2000 machine

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

Sorry, don't know about that stuff but I do know that this router will prioritize the connection to my xbox and you can monitor every device on your network from your PC. No more lag on gaming. No problems with this router.

I had the same issue, I called up dlink tech support desk, so after 3 failed attempts to fix the problem, they sent me the replacement AC model. The new router is working fine now but w/ occasional signal disconnect. Overall, I'd say - if possible get your money back and go for netgear.

It is a tap and to the best on my knowledge does not filter any traffic. If it is filtering BPDU packets, i am not aware that it does. I do not have it setup in a situation to look for them.

I've got one on a windows 8.1 system and I can see and access either the 2.4 or 5.0 bandwidths without any problems. Maybe its an issue that is discussed on the Linksys and/or Apple support websites.

Yes, I recall that the interface to the router includes a panel that shows statistics on total amount of data transmitted/received over various periods (which can be reset), but I don't recall any way to set a cutoff threshold.

Sorry, not sure what type of security you're looking for but the ISP should provide that. I'm not aware of any security features and nothing mentioned in the owners manual.

It works fine for me. It's mostly your internet modem/router. I occasionally have this problem where my internet would randomly cut off at one point while still being connected and I'd have to refresh the page when watching YouTube videos but it's ambiguous whether it's the Ethernet cable or the ISP itself.
