Local Network stats - which app is best?

[feo]

Hi there

Posted in the General Software section but got no replies and was directed to come here instead.

Basically, I have my setup at home like this (if it even matters): a Netgear router sitting in the middle of my house connected to my ADSL phone line. My PC on the other side of the house is connected to a wireless bridge (a Linksys flashed with DD-WRT). Then I have my Xbox 360 (and soon to be delivered Boxee Box) on the OTHER side of my house also connected to a (separate) wireless bridge (also a Linksys flashed with DD-WRT).

All I want is a piece of software that'll give my stats on the local throughput to each device on my network.

I stream 720p files to my 360 and notice that at some points it buffers and I basically want to see stats that how how many Mbps my PC is actually streaming the movie to my 360 at.

I found a screenie from someone's Youtube video and basically I want something similar to this (that shows signal strength over time, bandwidth over time etc)

Hope this thread will be more successful.

Personally I'd just use inSSIDer to map out the wireless channels to use with the least interference/overlap from neighbors and call it a day...
