Yes, I see under the advanced settings for the R6400 there is a traffic meter. You can set the monthly total throughput limit and what you want the router to do when the limit is reached. For example, disconnect from the internet.

In otherwords, the same thing that is there now, but able to break it down more granular to each IP/MAC address.
Maybe this could be developed and rolled out in a new firmware update?
