1. "I went to my network connections."
If this was on your machine, this is not where I would look. Hint: look on the router configuration pages.
2. It may sound odd, but I only give direction and if downloading a manual is required for me to step you through menus to find SMNP in the router then this is something I will NEVER do. Why? My outlook is it is your task to read the manual and learn the menus. Sure, I'll toss the occasional quick answer out but we are here to learn, not just get fish.
3. The SNMP item of concern is in the router. Research that.
4. "Do routers store data in them or do they just travel through?"
a. Some data is stored. Example? The assigned IP addresses and such. Recent DNS lookups are not unusual.
b. As to data travel through. Yes, and with SNMP on the router, a report is sent to wherever the router was configured to send it.
Dig in.

Proffitt you helped me on a thread down the page a little bit, but it seems like you haven't seen what I asked you, I was wondering if you could help me out.
I went to the Linksys website like you suggested for info on SNMP. I didn't find any information on it in the user guide online. I did find something that may be what I was looking for would you help me out and let me know if I did.
Here is what I did to see if the SNMP option was set up when the router was installed. If you remember, an IT guy at my moms business did some tinkering before she brought it home.
This was done on my personal computer, where the router is hooked up to to send the signal off. Its a Linksys WRT54G.
I went to my network connections.
I then clicked on the "advanced" tab at the top. Then clicked on "optional networking components."
Then when I highlight the "management & monitoring tools" I clicked on "details." (the only thing with a check mark on here is the networking services)
I then see two options titled, "Simple Network Management Protocall" and "WMI SNMP Provider." Neither of these have a check in the box next to them.
Would this mean its not set up for SNMP, or is that just from my computer and they can view it from theirs? Do routers store data in them or do they just travel through?
