Yep. A video camera. You just point it at the screen and it will
monitor what you're doing and for how long. It's fairly cheap, very
easy to use, and requires no license to operate.

When you're ready to disclose what hardware, operating system, and
wireless devices you have to work with, we can possibly offer some
useful suggestions. For example, SNMP or sniffing can be used for
monitoring. However, we need to know *WHAT* you are monitoring.

It would be nice to know what you mean by "length of connection" as
broadband is normally not a connect/disconnect type of service.

What type of reports would you like to see? Raw data? Tables?
Graphs? Web pages?

For just bandwidth monitoring, I use SNMP and MRTG for graphs.
However, you're unspecified network devices might not have SNMP. I
also use:

for Linksys BEFW11 and such monitoring. For WRT54G with DD-WRT
firmware, I've been tinkering with:

For ISP service, I use RRDTool and Nagios. For Cisco routers, I use
various Netflow utilities.
