What's using up all my internet allowance at home?
Can anyone help?
I've got a really strict internet allowance at home, and something keeps using it up fast!
My computer is set to not auto-update, my phone is set to not auto-update, I'm not watching YouTube or downloading movies or anything, just checking emails and normal browsing for an hour a day or so, but I'm going through 2-3gb of internet a day!
IS there any way I can work out what's using my internet? I've got two computers and two android phones.
Thanks!

I've just recently installed free Wireless Network Watcher. It can tell you if someone/something unknown to you is using your quota. You can set it to alert you and you can keep it open just sitting in your taskbar.

You can check your connections by entering your Home Gateway through your internet browser.
Open Command Prompt on your computer and type 'ipconfig/all" without the ""
go to either Wireless LAN Adapter or Ethernet Adapter.
Find where it says "Default Gateway", put the address in your browsers web address bar.
eg. Default Gateway: 10.0.0.165
put your own into your web address bar, it may need to login, password is usually admin, if not search up your gateway/router model and find password or contact your internet provider
