View Network Usage Information
The router integrates deep packet inspection (DPI) so that you can view the devices,
traffic categories, and applications that are using the upload and download bandwidth
in your router network. You can then use this information to apply your Quality of Service
(QoS) settings and optimize gaming (see Customize Quality of Service Settings and
Optimize Gaming on page 47).
You can view real-time information about all devices on your network that are consuming
bandwidth and you can view details about traffic categories and applications that are
consuming bandwidth for a device. You also view the total bandwidth usage across the
router network relative to the network’s overall bandwidth speeds.
To view network usage information:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Select Network Monitor.
The page that displays shows the Network Snapshot pane and the Network Overview
pane:
•
Network Snapshot pane. This pane displays the upload and download network
bandwidth in Mbps per second. The pane displays the total usage as well as
