How To Get Daily Usage from ORBI with API/REST?
I want to get daily internet usage (I'd like by device but I'd take total) of interent connection. I use comcast and they cap and I need to track without having to login.
It is the "without login" that makes this difficult. There is a web page that displays the current usage: htp://<ip of orbi router>/show_traffic.htm
You could put a bookmark on a web browser. If the web browser has stored the Orbi credentials, the screen will pop up. People who enjoy programming can whip up a task that does the http, scrapes the values off the page, then "does something " with them.
If someone has discovered API's for the Orbi, please share because I have never heard any mention of it.
Oh, my. I would not be happy to think that my Orbi accepts Telnet from the internet side. I will definitely check when I get home tomorrow (traveling today) I thout it strange that they do http: and Telnet rather than https and ssh, but justified it because a device has to be 'inside' in the first place.
This is definitly not meant to be an enterprise device, though it is a little scary if the wifi exposes telnet and https through unencrypted transmissions that include my router password. My downstairs neighbor works for google and I guess it's good he's an honest guy.
