About this tag
BWMeter is a bandwidth monitoring utility for Windows that tracks network traffic. Users on WindowsForum.com report issues where running BWMeter or similar tools like Networx or DUMeter disconnects a wireless adapter from the internet, restoring connectivity only when the application is closed. This problem occurs even with trusted firewall settings and VPN connections. Another user notes that BWMeter includes a built-in firewall feature, and disabling the software can resolve network visibility issues between computers on a local network. These discussions highlight potential conflicts between bandwidth monitors and network connectivity in Windows environments.
