Good morning. I am trying to determine a relatively easy way to compile usage statistics for our wireless network. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

In 2014, we gave a presentation at the Merit Conference on this topic. The suggestions presented in that presentation are still relevant today. You can view the presentation at: https://goo.gl/QbMpHR This is the Powerpoint we presented, and it includes several useful tools and concepts for tracking Wireless Usage. Options provided go from low cost to more Enterprise level. I'd add using an open source add on for a wireless access points as well: DD-WRT - http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index; Tomato - http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato OpenWRT - https://openwrt.org/ and also add Open Mesh as a possibility - http://www.open-mesh.com/ Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Helena Hayes" <director@galesburgcharlestonlibrary.org> To: michlib-l@mcls.org Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2016 11:41:31 AM Subject: [Michlib-l] Wireless statistics?
