Brian Sierakowski Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have a site where we have hooked up a wireless network on two buildings about 100 yards apart using yagi antennas, and we're getting about 30mbps on average throughput. We'll, this would be fine for their VOIP phones alone, as VOIP calls only take up 30-40kbps each, but they also have data running through the lines too. They insist that it's not THAT much data, however, their phones keep losing connection with the system at the main office. My question: Does anyone know of a tool or technique that I can use to monitor how much bandwidth is being used by what IP's? I suspect that their pc's are saving large files to the server on the other side of the wireless connection, hogging the line and DoSing the phones. I installed QoS on the wireless AP's, however they don't have QoS anywhere else on the network, so it's not doing us a whole lot of good right now. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated. Thanks, -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viriato Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I used this network monitor prog for that. Maybe it help you and it's free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decepticon_eazy_e Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I used this network monitor prog for that. Maybe it help you and it's free! Turn on SNMP on the port the WAP is connected to and monitor the bandwidth of that port. PRTG is a good free windows based monitor, based on MRTG.
