The only difficult part was understanding how to use the network credentials for specifying the userid\/password\/domain when making a WebRequest. Without the proper credentials, the router returns an “401 unauthorized” response. The TextBox controls (textBox3, textBox4, textBox5) used below contain the user id, password, and domain for the login. The TextBox control for the router address (textBox1) is appended with “\/FW_log.htm” to get the URI for the logs. Once the response is received, the program looks for strings that begin with “[ALLOW”. These are the records contained in the log.<\/p>\n

Feeling bored and looking for some fun, I wrote a Netgear router monitor program. This is what programmers do. \u00c2\u00a0I was interested in seeing what websites were accessed through the router at my home. \u00c2\u00a0While there is a log available via the router, the buffer in a router are notoriously small and data that are … <\/p>\n
