I have seen the instructions elsewhere but they were too technical (I have practically zero Linux experience).
Could someone please post a step by step guide for a Windows user?

Install the Webshell plug-in
Send the following commands
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle stop
/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle disable

Is that permanent though or only until restart?

“stop” is until you “start” it again, or reboot
“disable” prevents auto start
Hence you should send both

Even after doing both, if I change any settings the bwmon turns back on?

If you make changes to the Bandwidth page, or to QoS, yes it will start again.
I don’t know if there are any others. If you have an example I can check.

Disabling it worked thank you.
I will miss the pretty charts and graphs prefer if to just write to ram if possible.

Why do you only want to write to RAM?

Hi it's to save unnecessary writing and causing wear on the limited lifespan flash.
Once a router is configured properly I usually will not write to it again for months or years.
I might peak at the charts if things slow down. They are in a commercial environment so prefer maximum reliability.
