View traffic by device?? Trying to figure out the bandwidth hog.

Is it possible with the NetGear Genie or other tool to see what device is hogging the WIFI bandwidth?   Nighthawk X8; AC5300

    Welcome to the community, MeanMom


    You can enable QoS and then check Attached Devices.

    Does this work on R6250 as well?  Any way to see this in ios/android app?

      I do not have R6250 to check but if you do then you may try it by enabling QoS and then check under Attached devices to see. 

      You can only see this through the admin page. I would suggest that if you'd like to see this feature be added, post it under Idea Exchange and give it a vote.
