P.S. My README.1st and QuickStart.txt:
(!) IMPORTANT NOTE: it is strongly advised to update to the stock firmware 2.5.2.4 before flashing this version. If your on a older stock version than v2.5.2.4, then you'll need to update to stock v2.5.2.4 first before you apply v9.2.5.2.6SF-HW.
If you are already using Voxel FW and up to date, then this "update to the stock firmware 2.5.2.4" is not needed of course.

Does moving to Voxel's firmware give any more info for bandwidth utilization? The stock Orbi stuff tells me the aggregate of usage, but not per device.
I am interested in per device usage, so I wonder if Voxel provides that.

Something to ask Voxel about over in the SNB forums.
I don't believe his FW does though...
