How much data am I using?

Post by dc608 »

I KNOW this is a noob question. I bought a router and modem from The Wireless Haven. I got them assembled, installed the SIM card from the T-mobile hotspot that I rent from the local library, and the initial results are promising! That signal can now be broadcast much farther, and I've run several devices with minimal issues. But I'd like to know how much data I'm using. How can I determine this?

You can find this information on the tmobile website once you login.

I don’t have that access, because I rent the hotspot from the library. But I have put bandwidth monitors on my PCs. That won’t be a complete picture, of course, but I’ll at least have some feedback, instead of none. And, I suppose if I go way overboard, the library will hear from T-mobile, and I will hear from the library! :lol:

Depending on the router firmware, there is a bandwidth monitor that should work. You will need to add a line of code for it to work properly. See this topic: https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=12 ... t=10#p8087
