which wifi device is using my bandwidth??

I've just changed ISP's. We now have a 50% increase in speed  but also the  bandwidth is getting devoured a lot quicker.
Is there a program that will let me know the usage of devices connected to my WIFI?
I have a Telstra Gateway TG797 (I think)

cheers

Probably more Apple devices. Pretty sure Playstations don't really use that much, even if you are host
Did you mention children?

Telstra?

TG797n broadband gateway for the NBN I presume?

Are you using VOIP?

I presume you have tried turning your Apples off one at a time and monitoring the results!

There are programs like Wireshark you can use, but you need to know how to drive it and it's not something easily taught.

Sell the children is a great solution, reduces your overhead and puts immediate cash in your pocket!

Your router will be able to tell you.

Enable usage reports on it (by device/ip address)

Google something like: enable usage report for <whatever router brand/model you have>
