Choosing a monitoring source
SNMP, UPnP, or local interface — how PeakHour collects bandwidth data and which option fits your router.

Enabling SNMP v2c or v3 on common routers (Asus, Synology, OPNsense, MikroTik) and pointing PeakHour at it.
Using PeakHour
Reading the PeakHour graph
What the bars, the throughput trace, and the latency overlay are telling you — and where to look first.
