RouterStats -Lite is an attempt to provide a program more in line with the original concept - to be able to plot the router's Downstream Noise Margin and Connection Speed on graphs and very little else.
In an effort to make the original RouterStats as flexible as possible, some compromises had to be made in the method used to extract the various numeric values from the pages displayed by the router.
I have taken a different approach with RouterStats -Lite in that each router will be able to have its own dedicated 'algorythm' in order to extract just the two values. Users simply select their router from a drop-down list, confirm the url to connect to the router and enter their own Username and Password. All the "text searching" takes place automatically. They won't need to know any special urls to "secret" or "hidden" pages - just the basic IP address they always use to access the router.... and that's where I'm looking for volunteers....
Currently, thanks to help from owners of these routers, I have been able to program the algorythms (usually via http) for:
- 2Wire 2700HGV
- 2Wire BT1800HG
- Belkin F5D-8630
- Draytek Vigor 2600G
- Dynalink RTA1025W
- Netgear DG834 and DG834(G, GT, N) (all versions of firmware)
- Netgear DG934 (Sky broadband)
- Linksys WAG200G
- Linksys WAG54G
- Orange Livebox (Inventel)
- SpeedTouch 7G (BT Home Hub v1)
- SpeedTouch 510v6
- SpeedTouch 585v6 & v7
- Draytek Vigor 2600 series
- Zoom X3 GS v1.02-70
- Zoom X5v
- Zyxel P-660H-D1 (via telnet)
- Digicom Michelangelo Wave
- Trust MD-4050
- Edimax 7084
- Voyager 220v (BT)
From version 2.4, I've included the ability to telnet into the router so I may be able to add routers whose Noise Margin and Connection Speed are only available through telnet.
If you know that RouterStats (original) can extract the Noise Margin and Connection Speed from your router and would be willing to assist with the development of RouterStats -Lite, I would be most grateful if you could contact me via the "contact me" link on my website. I will NOT need to borrow your router (!!) but I may need a little of your time to test one or two Beta's mainly just to check that it logs in to the router ok.
The information I need is:
- Make and Model of the router
- The Default IP address (eg http://192.168.0.1)
- The DEFAULT Username and Password
- The full URL to the page (or separate Frame) which displays the Noise Margin and Speed.
Please note that this URL must be to a simple, separate "stand-alone" page containing the SNR and Connection Speed. (More info.) - A text copy of the source of that page (complete with all the HTML code tags and other gobbledegook).
