Hey guys, I was wondering is there a way to find out who's been downloading the most in a small office that shares a wireless router?
Our internet Quota's been breached a few times and no one's fessing up. So it's been breaking a lot of trust in the office lately.
Is there an app that can show which user/computer that's downloaded the most data?
I tried using wireshark, but i'm a little lost in how it works exactly.
Hmm what's your skill level with computers? :)
Your router might have a web interface (usually accessible via http with user and password provided in the manual - you can google the model if you no longer have a manual).
This web interface _might_ give you an insight into how much goes where, but if it doesn't, wireshark is probably the way to go. This might help: https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/25575/sort-by-bandwidth-used-and-show-ip-addressnetwork-name
Also make sure your Wi-fi is WPA2 protected (not passwordless, not WEP), otherwise the data usage might be from someone outside.

Omg, thanks for replying.
For a while i though this was gonna buried or something.
Well to be honest i'm not that good. they stuck me in this whole IT thing cause I guess I'm all the have at the moment.
Office is a bit of cheapskate so we're using this cheap chinese router "Huawei HG8245H". According to the guys it's really bad. and I went and look into the interface thingy but there wasnt much to go by.
Some sites recommended a "quality of service" menu for the router, but i wasnt able to find it for this model. I think there isnt. :c
As for the wireshark thing i've been looking at that same tab as recommended. but It feels a little off. We've been getting leaks for about 10 gigs a day yet some of the computers dont reach those sizes.

Look a little harder.

I did.
That said. mine says "HG8245H" that screen you have is only " HG8245"
Is it a different model? or what am i missing here? :c

the differences between the HG8245 and the HG8245H are probably so small that it doesn't matter. perhaps the H model explodes half a percent less often over a period of three months than the other.
