I need a software, which can monitor my wi-fi network activity over 4 devices - dell laptop, hp laptop, macbook and hcl me tablet.

I need this ASAP as I need to monitor my data usage because I have already exhausted my 20GB 3 months FUP, in less than a month :-(

You can use various network monitoring software’s such as OpManager, Observium, ganglia, spiceworks etc. in order to monitor your network. Also, if you would like to remotely monitor computers, you may consider having on premise remote support appliance installed such as RHUB appliances.
