How to Get a Detailed Internet Usage for Netgear Nighthawk R7000

i have been trying to get a detailed internet usage for my network so i am able to see what devices are uising the internet and how much.  is this possible on the model i have.  The router is using the latest firmware version V1.0.1.44_1.0.1.

Thanks

  • You can get per-IP traffic stats with third-party firmware, Asuswrt-Merlin.  Note, you will lose hardware acceleration, so the max throughput between WAN and LAN will drop to about 450 Mbps.  If you have Gigabit speed Internet, then there may be a noticeable drop in performance.

     

    The usual caveat emptor applies for third-party firmware.

  • Yeah I have but that only gives an overall usage. I want to know how much each device is using

      Might try OpenRouter FW as well, however not sure if they support per device stats as it's mostly the same UI. Might beable to though.
