    So I just got a WRT54G2 Router; and seeing that I manged to brick the WRT54GS I got a couple days ago w/ DD-WRT firmware I am not about to flash this sweet G2. But, I really do like the features that the DD-WRT firmware presents especially under the "Status" tab. It shows the amount of IP Connections that each Active Host computer is using, there's even a section that shows the amount of Bandwidth being used, Signal strength etc, etc.

    So what I want to know is, does anyone know of any third party app. that has these type of features? Screen shots attached!

    And BTW, for ex. in the first attachment if you click the number of current IP Connections; that being 83 it would actually show you all the connections going to and from each computer; in columns such as protocol type, source and remote address etc.

    LOL you didnt need to blur out your private ip addresses! mac addresses sure maybe but not those ip addresses ;)

    Shhh dont tell anyone but my gateway is 192.168.0.1 and my computers are .101-.108 and my server is at .125 yikes! jkjk

    But no, there really cant be a software to do that as it takes place on the routers level.
