Note: Packets from the Internet are evenly transmitted to the wired and wireless devices.

The screenshot below is an example of real-time monitoring by using the Traffic Monitor. In the screenshot, Internet and wireless (5GHz) activity display similar wave patterns. The wireless router is the gateway between the Internet and the devices connected to the network. When the router receives requests from attached network devices, it requests an equal amount of data from the Internet. The network activity the router processes is almost equal to the the total activity from both wired and wireless devices on the network.


 

 

Also, you can choose the time to do the traffic monitor.
