I have a ZyXEL VMG1312-B10A connected via Cat6 to my Asus router.
At the moment, when I want to check the stats, I plug myself into the ZyXEL, set a static IP and use DSL stats - which I think is a great tool.
The issue I have is the ZyXEL is in the hall and it's not practical to sit in there on my laptop. Secondly i'd like some kind of email alerting or 24 hour monitoring.
What is the easiest way of doing this? I'm guessing a raspberry PI plugged into the Asus?
Secondly, how do I get the Asus to see the ZyXEL without running a second cable as that's a hassle.
