    Just had a CS operator from Meteor tell me I could check the usage of a 3G dongle that's attached to a 3G Wifi router by going to 192.168.1.1 in a browser

    Unless I'm vastly mistaken that's complete tosh ?

    All I can say is try it. He could be half right but I'm not sure it will work through a 3G router. The Dongle probably keeps a count of the data used all the WiFi ones do even when they are attached by USB but the count won't be any use because it will be from when you first started to use the device. If its not total tosh you'll need to reset the counters to zero to make use of the data in future.

    Tried it. The dongle isn't listed under the dhcp clients on the tp link, and I use 192.168.5.* IP range so I guess that's that.

    Check the documentation for your dongle, could be different ip range

    And you're getting some sort of dashboard webpage at the dongle's IP address ? Mind me asking which modems you're using ?

    Thanks very much for that.

    I can see that on a newer dongle I have here but the older ones don't have that interface.

    Might have to look into getting a new 3G router that'll work the new breeds of dongle.
