I need a router that shows data usage per connected device

Question

I am in need of a router that logs each device IP connected and the data used per connection per device. I need to see how much bandwidth each device is using each hour and each day. I only need standard 2.4 GHz WiFi. I currently have an n750 but it doesn't log per device only per the router itself. I really would like a router that has detachable antennas so I can hook up to my amplifier and ceiling mounted antennas. I can modify if I have no choice and add antenna connections but the ability to see the data usage per IP address is the critical feature I need. Thank you.

You won't find it at NETGEAR. They do not offer a router with firmware that tracks bandwidth or volume per device.

What N750 do you have?&nbsp;
Some have 3rd party options (ddwrt/tomato) that offer data tracking.&nbsp;
but it voids your warranty and can put you at a risk for bricking your device.&nbsp;
Just an option to try before buying something&nbsp;

What router can do it ? Model ?

plemans · Answer

You won't find a stock netgear consumer model that will.&nbsp;
Again, what n750 model do you have?&nbsp;

I don't know what model N750 I have. I tried the wwrt and that doesn't work for me. I don't want to mess around with alternative firmware I just want to buy something off the shelf that I can plug in and configure and be done with it.If you know of a router that can do this feature please let me know the manufacturer and model number even if it's older and I will try to find itThank you for your help
