NetMonitor Setup - raiguard/ModernGadgets GitHub Wiki

NetMonitor is an alternate network monitoring utility developed by SilverAzide. It has the advantage of being much more accurate than Rainmeter's built-in measures, and will continue to monitor even when the user is logged out. Simply put, it is better in almost every way when compared to Rainmeter's network measures.

To install it, simply click the Install NetMonitor service button in Network Meter settings. Administrator privileges are required for installation. Once it is installed, it will immediately begin to run, and you will see new controls in the settings skin. You can pause or stop the service using the provided buttons. To uninstall the service, stop it, then the uninstall button will become clickable.

Once NetMonitor is up and running, check the Use NetMonitor Service toggle in the settings. This will load an alternate Network Meter that will use the NetMonitor service rather than Rainmeter's built-in measures. NetMonitor itself is completely separate from Rainmeter, so uninstalling Rainmeter or deleting/updating ModernGadgets will not affect it.
