How to see, which component uses the bandwith

Votes:

0

Moin together,

unfortunately I still have a 16 DSL connection at home with 10-11MBit/s effective.

It often happens that the line is completely busy and I do not know where the traffic comes from. I am looking for a simple and cheap solution. If possible graphically.

I once saw that someone could display this on his firewall. However, my FritzBox does not offer me this evaluation.

Does anyone have a tip for me?

Thanks a lot and stay healthy!

Hello Myssv,

Have you watched this manual webinar video? https://www.paessler.com/support/videos-and-webinars/videos/bandwidth-monitoring-methods

It explains how you can deploy PRTG Packet Sniffers and Xflow Sensors to get detailed information of your bandwidth. Hopefully you can grab the culprit consuming your Bandwidth.

Hope this helps you!
