How did I get all this data?
I’m running Rosewill RNX-GX4 Wireless-G Broadband Router (purchased from Newegg) and flashed it with DD-WRT which is a “Linux based alternative OpenSource firmware” for routers that has a TON of features not present in the default factory firmware that most router manufacturers install. On of the cool things about DD-WRT is that it keep a log of the daily usage and displays the data in a nice graph or export the data.
