Bandwidth: Client History

The Client History report shows the locations of the gateway where the client(s) were connected and consuming bandwidth. It also shows the date/time that the client(s) connected, the duration for the connection(s), the amount of data (in MB) that was sent/received, and the distance travelled while the client(s) was connected to the gateway.
