Hi,
I want to ask you about the tool that I can use to monitor the internet usage on my network connection.
In my office I had an internet connection and all the employees are connected with a simple WiFi modem.

Now I don't know who is using my office internet to download the movies and other stuff and other employees are complaining about the slow internet connection.

Please tell me how I can monitor the internet usage of each employee? All employees are connected with a simple Modem that my ISP provided me.
I have no server in my office.

Is there any tool or utility that I can use to check the real time internet usage over my modem for all the employees that are connected with my modem.

All the computers are running Windows 8.1 including mine.
No servers, no routers, no hub etc. Just a simple WiFi Modem.

Thanks,

Only your modem/router know about all the traffic, it is the only central device. Generally even very advanced commercial routers do not have this ability. The main problem is the device needs to store long term information someplace and few if any routers have hard drivers or other storage.

This is more a function of a firewall that has a content filter ability.

The other way this done is for the router to collect the information and send it to external server to be stored and processed. Problem is even if you had the server likely your router does not have the feature to collect and send the data.

So unless you are willing to get different equipment or load software on every client there is not way to accomplish what you want.
