Bandwidth recording for isolated wireless network

Post by rseiler »

I noticed that any clients on an isolated network that I have (which is also on a different subnet) show up as using no bandwidth in the bandwidth table.

Is there any way to make the real usage show up?

Their combined usage will show up under the WAN ip for that subnet, right?

This won't be recorded in any usable way per individual ip

You've stumped the panel with that one. That figure would be useful to know, at least, since you could compare it against the bottom line in Bandwidth Usage for a given day, but I can't figure out where in the UI you're referring to.

Gargoyle can only count and report traffic that passes through the router it is installed on. If you had a second router in gateway mode connected with it's WAN port to a LAN port of your Gargoyle, it would show up as a normal client with the combined traffic of all its clients summed up into one in the usage charts.
If your second router is connected in parallel to the Gargoyle one, it is completely independent and won't show.

Ah, so Lantis was thinking this was two routers. I should have made clear that it's just one router using the equivalent of this procedure:

I see.
Still, Gargoyle isn't really designed to do things like that. The entire interface is written with 1 subnet in mind.
