How do I track device bandwidth on R6400?
My cable provider is going to charge me for bandwith usage, and I need to determine what device(s) are using all of my bandwidth up.
I have an R6400|AC1750. Can I monitor device usage on this device? I do not see the feature in the router UI.
Thank you!
Hi MNCoop,
The router does not support the feature of monitoring the bandwidth usage of the connected individual devices. However, you can check the traffic meter feature and see if it is something that can help out.

I was afraid that was the answer. :smileysad:
Thanks for the quick reply.
There are some suggestions that might be helpful here: http://www.howtogeek.com/222740/how-to-the-monitor-the-bandwidth-and-data-usage-of-individual-devices-on-your-network/
If you want to stay with Netgear firmware in the router, you can find apps/software for most of your devices that can measure this. iOS is one big exception.
