Key points regarding compatibility

PeakHour can monitor throughput of a wide variety of capable devices: routers, wireless access points, servers, printers, PCs, Macs etc.
The key to being able to monitor them is that they support either the SNMP or UPnP protocol.
- Most Internet routers support UPnP.
- Some Internet routers support SNMP as well.
Mac, Windows and Linux PCs support SNMP allowing them to be monitored directly.
- See the article Monitor This Mac for help enabling SNMP on your Mac(s).
For servers, NAS devices and printers, see the documentation for those devices.

If your router isn't compatible with PeakHour and you're not afraid of a little tinkering, open source replacement firmwares such as DD-WRT or Tomato may provide an alternative option. We've tested the latest DD-WRT ourselves in-house and find it offers excellent SNMP support which works well with PeakHour.
