Re: DD-WRT firmware for monitoring net usage

As a dad I'd like to do the same thing but I don't believe DD-WRT provides
logging of that detail. If I'm wrong, someone let me know.

I use Netgear routers, and they do provide logging. Here is an example
of what the logs provide:

The older routers provided email the logs out, but had no ability to
validate a user with the email server. I had to play games to get
around that! The present router I have, a Netgear WNR1000 does have the
ability to validate the user to the email server.
