    And both machines will do that However I have only succeeded in
    saving the data to /var/log/messages. Tomato will present the logged
    data nearly formatted as a menu item, DD-WRT does not [that part
    that does not work].

    The problem with the huge number of connections is computer related,
    not the router since it occurs with either router connected.

    Viasat also tracks my usage and there is no indication of excessive
    usage in their data so I guess whatever is causing it is Dropped?
