    I have 4 PCs hooked via wifi and 1 main PC. I want to monitor how much bandwidth each PC is using. The D-link router that I use is hooked up to my main computer via ethernet cable.

    So is there a software that would let me view the bandwidth used by each PC on daily basis? I want to do this without having to install any software on other PCs.

    I have a cable internet connection with 125GB limit. For every GB I go over I am charged $2.50 max up to $50.00 I am already paying $75 per month for 25MB/sec connection. Every month I am paying $50 extra.

    you need to be using a router that can audit network usage. For consumer-grade gear, these are few and far between unless you're changing over compatible hardware and running ddwrt.
