[SOLVED] Tracking usage for shared Wired Internet to Neighbour

[pvkvimalan]

Hi,

I have a neighbour who has moved to the flat next to me. He will be staying just for 3~4 months. So I have shared my internet connection to him through Cable. I would like to monitor & control the usage and the number of devices connected to the network. I use a D Link DWR M921 modem. I have accessed to my router, it shows all the devices connected to it and that included his router, but not the devices that are connected to their router. Kindly advise the best possible way to connect.

Thanks in Advance.

You can't. He could have as many things as he wants behind his router. And does the device count matter? What's more important is that he can't see your devices and that he doesn't eat all your bandwidth.

Hi @SamirD Thanks for the reply. If in that case would it be possible to limit my sharing bandwidth

Not with the equipment you have.

Hi @nigelivey, Thank you for your response.

If this is your router (4G LTE), i'd be extremely careful about network usage. You should rather let your neighbor use Guest WiFi feature (if avaialable), rather than wired Ethernet.

You could put a 10Mbps hub in between your router and his and he'll be limited to 10Mbps up and down.
