I'm still getting used to using DD-WRT on a daily basis and loving it.  One great feature, especially for us Comcast customers (who are now victim to a new bandwidth throttling scheme) is the built-in bandwidth monitor.

Just go to Status => WAN and you can see bandwidth by day and month - something I just discovered.  I had previously thought it only tracked by day.  You can also go back and see the results of previous months.

I've really enjoyed the feature over the last year but I've never remembered to save the data to a file when I did a clean install.

Thanks for sharing Peter.
I wonder if it's possible to set a limit on speed (speed throttling) based on MAC or IP addresses?
Thanks again

I don't see an option on the version of DD-WRT that I am running on my WGR614L that offers this, although you can restrict internet access during certain days and times. Perhaps I am missing something? DD-WRT experts, what say you?

What I'd like to see is some sort of external program that can connect to the router to display a bandwidth monitoring graph on the desktop WITHOUT having to keep a browser window open to the router's internal admin page all the time.

I currently use Tomato, and it's bandwidth monitoring tools are very nice. I just hate that I keep myself logged into the router's admin page all the time.

If either Tomato or DD-wrt had an external tool, I'd love to hear about it.

Just enable SNMP on your router and you can monitor bandwidth from something like Perfgraph in windows.

Hello everyone,

Anyone know if you can limit the total traffic with DD-WRT?

I have a maximum allowed traffic per month and would like to reach a limit, it cut off access to the WAN.

I looked in the monitoring of traffic but I see no option of restricting.

Thank you all.

Nobody knows if it can?

Thanks.

There is no way to cut your data pipe in DD-WRT without some creative bash scripting unfortunately.

Autobot thank you very much for your response.

ll continue looking to see if someone has made a script for this.
