Netgear DG834GT & bandwidth

[B2048]

Hi

I have set up a wireless network at home sharing the ADSL connection with a Netgear DG834GT wireless modem/router. So far everything is up and running and working fine, but the question I have is how do I tell how much bandwidth I have consumed in the current ADSL connection without having to disconnect/reconnect to the ISP and then check the ISP's stats page? The modem/router does the actual connection to the ISP - I do not log in from my machine.

Is there something on the router that will tell me how much data has been uploaded/downloaded in the current session?

thanks
B.

Under the Maintenance heading, click Router Status. Then click the show statistics buttom at the bottom of the page.

Thanks, Nickste. I have looked at the router statistics page - but it seems like a whole lot of goobledy-gook to a dork like me. Any hints as to how to go about deciphering it?

thanks

But thanks anyway
