Oct 27, 2010 · This Chrome extension Internet Connection Monitor helped me to solve the same problem. It shows a green checkmark above the browser when online and a red cross when offline. It also keeps a connection log. Even better would be to have this in the Mac menu bar, but so far I haven't found anything like that.

I have an all Mac network consisting of an Airport Extreme, 1 MacPro, 1 Mac Mini, 2 MackBook Pros, 2 iPads, and 2 iPhones. The Mac Pro is connected directly to the Airport Extreme via Cat5 and the rest is all running via Wireless. Lately I've been getting prompted by Google to enter Capchas frequently.

Jan 22, 2019 · Activity Monitor of Mac OSX only shows received bytes and send bytes of each process. Command "nettop" and "nethogs" in Terminal can only show the bandwidth of each connection.

Jul 26, 2016 · I have a limited ADSL connection in my house. I want to monitor how much traffic each device connected to my router is using. I use a D-Link DSL-2730U as router. As far as I know there is no custom firmware available for my router. Is there a way to monitor traffic based on MAC addresses?

I'm basically looking for something like this but available on Mac. I am using Mac OS X 10.6. I am trying to connect a new workstation to our wireless multifunction printer and I'm having a hell of a time getting the device to spit out an IP for me to connect to. Is there a way I can scan the network somehow?

Jun 13, 2023 · There is another app on Mac App Store that shows the status of Ethernet Connection: Ethernet Status. I like it because it is a no-frills app and uses very less space on the menu bar and it also shows status of Thunderbolt network adaptors, so works with my Mac Book Air. Sadly it is not free.

Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) contains a command called nettop that gets you most of the way there. Be sure to check the man page to learn the navigation keys and note the d key for toggling delta display. Not quite the kB/s display you were looking for, but close perhaps.
