monitor_bw

Monitor bandwidth of Zyxel C3000Z broadband modem, E.g. from CenturyLink

Installation

Collecting data requires the requests module.

Tested on Ubuntu Linux 18.04

Copy the config.ini-example file to $HOME/.config/monitor_bw/config.init

Change the admin-password there to the password on your modem.

If necessary, administer it by hand by logging in to the modem via the web at

http://192.168.0.1/

to set up your admin password and understand some of the data pulled here, etc.

Then run

./monitor_bw.py >> monitor.csv &

It will collect data every few seconds (as determined by the sleep() call) into a csv file.

After gathering some data, you can run the included Jupyter notebook to play with it.
