Hey guys, I've been experiencing some really odd issues on my home network that tend to bring it down to a crawl for a few minutes then traffic gets relieved.
So what I have setup:
E4200v1 with DDWRT on it.
2.4ghz/5ghz bands as one SSID.
Devices that I constantly have on and connected to my LAN are:
Most devices listed above are just being used once at a time. If we are watching Xbian, the phones are sitting there idle and nothing else on the network is being used.
My XBMC has 68% signal quality as it sits right above on the main floor with my TV, while my E4200 is in the basement just right underneath.
My desktop is mainly on sleep mode and once again, if I'm on my desktop, nothing else is really being used.
About an hour or so, my network went to a crawl.
Facebook struggled to open. I was not downloading anything or updating. I also had difficulty accessing 192.168.1.1, my router IP/Default Gateway.
As I sit here, I am unsure how I can use the extra feature in DDWRT to identify what saturates my network to such an extent.
Does anybody have a suggestion on how I can start trying to understand what is causing this?
Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated.
Thank you

Devices that I constantly have on and connected to my LAN are:
- HP Ex490 media smart server with WHS OS, right now just used for storage and that's it. No streaming off it, nothing.
- Raspberry Pi B2 running xbian for my XBMC box.
- Two android powered phones as my network sometimes isn't reliable.
- Nest thermostat
