Monitor traffic? Like per device bandwidth usage? or what monitoring are you wanting?
Because there really isn't much on those devices and it seems like you're doing what you can.
They're also both not-gigabit. They're slow/ancient routers that were released over a decade ago.
If you're wanting more monitoring, I'd look at either building your own router or picking up one that supports those features. netgear hasn't been the greatest at device specific monitoring in their consumer gear so I probably wouldn't go that route. Unless you pick up something that supports ddwrt (the wnr2000v3 does but not well)
