RBR40 and RBS40 wifi - Wishing to capture/monitor traffic/BW usage of connected wifi devices
Hello
Have had this model RBR40 RBS40 of Orbi for some time and am very happy with its performance once I installed two corresponding satellite units. I am keen to capture the usage of each wifi...
What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Have you enabled Traffic Metter? This only collects overall usage for the entire system. I don't believe Orbi separates it down by devices.
Furrye38 asked the right question: what is the make and model of the modem you are connected to?
Something in your analysis may not be correct. If the Orbi is in AP mode and the modem is providing DHCP to all devices, then all devices should appear in the modem DHCP tables. Orbi's in AP mode perform no router functions. They do not assign IP addresses. They do not NAT. They have no firewall. etc. etc. etc. So, if the modem DHCP tables do not contain your other devices, where did they get their IP's?
Since my Orbi is not in AP mode, I cannot state for certain, however, my first attempt at capturing traffic would be to activate "Mirror WAN traffic to LAN port 1" on the Orbi debug page: (IP of Orbi Router)/debug.htm) Attach your Wireshark capture to port 1.
