SNMP on RBR50v2 and RBS50v2?

I searched the forum for "SNMP", yet most "can't do" answers are left from 2017, and since then there have been many NOs that turned into YESes by hardware/software updates. So, I'll refresh the ques...

I would contact NG support for help and information on SNMP. 

 

If your using any managed switches, besure to disable IGMP protocols on these switchs. Users have mentioned this causes problems with Orbi. Along with green tech ethernet switches are not recommended.

    Following up on this old post because hoping that someone made some progress with it? I'd love to be able to see network traffic per device and it seems I need to enable SNMP to do this.

      As far as I know, none of the Orbi products have ever had a feature to collect usage information by device.  Nor do they include the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).  In other words.  No chance in hell.

        CrimpOn Thanks so much for the reply. Any ideas for how to do this (without having to buy a router that does support SNMP and running the Orbi's in AP mode)? I've been poking around and so far I've tried:

        1. Little Snitch - only monitors the traffic per app on the device it is running 
        2. PeakHour4 - requires SNMP
        3. SolarWinds - for windows only and also requires SNMP
        4. PRTG - doesn't require SNMP but requires a windows machine (I'm on a Mac) 

        Seems like the odds are stacked against me. Any advice you have would be very much appreciated
