				Managing a home network
			 
 
			
			I guess many here have a home network, and they want to manage it.
 Well I what to manage mine, and need free tools to do so so need the following.
 
 1.  a free visio replacement to I can have icons and pathways etc.
 
 2. Free software that I can run on my PC and see what devices are connected and what bandwidth thay are using.
 
 3. any other tools?

			OK yes I have revived an old thread of mine but I have found an Android app. 
It's called Draw Express.
 
It's fairly simple to use, you just draw your shape, resize and position.
 
You then can draw in connectors, you can also mod the shapes and connectors.
 
Free and worth a look
