Monitor and Meter Internet Traffic

Traffic metering allows you to monitor the volume of Internet traffic that passes through
the router Internet port. With the traffic meter utility, you can set limits for traffic volume,
set a monthly limit, and get a live update of traffic usage.

Start the Traffic Meter Without Traffic Volume Restrictions

You can monitor the traffic volume without setting a limit.

To start or restart the traffic meter without configuring traffic volume restrictions:

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.
