Anyone know of a software to monitor router bandwidth on the Windows Taskbar?

Something simple like this. Just show current up/down rate. Graphing not necessary.


This is Peakhour which is what I use on my Mac: https://peakhourapp.com/

Basically:
1. Display the upload/download rate of my internet connection (pppoe) of my router (Mikrotik.)
2. Using SNMP
3. Graph not needed but would be nice.
4. No need realtime. 1 sec average is good enough.
5. Light on sys resources.
6. Free preferrred. Paid is fine.

i use networx, last free version 5.5
version 6 need pay
i still keep installer for version 5.5
btw i just monitoring 1 pc

Thanks but this is only for monitoring the PC it's installed on right? I didn't dl to try so not sure.

local monitoring of a network adapter, eg your wifi card

so not what you want

Thanks, 5.5 downloaded and working. The graph in the taskbar no longer works with Windows 11 or I couldn't find a way to enable but it still has a floating window which is good enough.

No, want to monitor my router pppoe via SNMP. Networx is working though.

Oh ya, windows 11 does not allow any program to modify it look on taskbar
It has a lot of thing can set, but if you set ignore local LAN traffic with internet very high speed, eg 500mbps plan
The program will cause some cpu usage , 20, 30%
Developer say program need analysis every byte is is from local traffic or outside traffic

Such program need over RM100 on it website

How abt Du Meter, but hv to pay.

I read about that CPU usage prob so I didn't install the LAN filter during installation. So far seems to be ok, just monitoring router pppoe via snmp.

I used to use DUMeter many many years ago to monitor PC bandwidth. This round I looked at the website, no mention of SNMP so didn't try.

How about Netbalancer, free to use even free trial expired, but can't sync data to cloud

Thanks, let me check it out.

Update: https://netbalancer.com makes no mention of SNMP support so didn't proceed any further.
