Bandwidth monitoring for Orbi
Does the Orbi offer bandwidth tracing by device ? With over 30 IoT devices I need to manage bandwidth usage at the device level.
Orbi only offers total overall bandwidth usage. Nothing by per device usage.

The question is Why does Netgear not offer it per device? It should be a simple add, is very beneficial in troubleshooting things, especially in this era of bandwidth caps by the ISPs.

cound not agree more - not just for bill payers to know they're actually using what their ISP says they are, but for parents who need to see/manage/control the data being used by each of their kids -- or from saavy homewoners to know that Alexa might be using a bit too much data to justify the benefit. Can't report bugs to Amazon if I can't show them their Alexa data consumption stats...like the ambient sounds you can play/loop. Are these files downloaded and looped over and over, or downloaded each time? No way for me to know since Orbi doesn't detail out usage!!
