Internet Traffic Usage Reports
I need to monitor Internet traffic volume to/from my ISP. I have a monlthly ISP data allocation, and I need to know how much data I'm consuming for the month. I also need to know the machines that are consuming the traffic. I also need alerts. It would also be nice to have:
- Daily device quotas.
- Daily device quota threshold alerts.
- Auto disable device/network when quota is reached.
- Differet quotas for different days (weekends vs. weekdays).
My router does have some sort of traffic monitoring, but its not accurate enough and too basic for my needs.

sadly you won't find it using stock firmware. some 3rd party firmwares have it (which the r7000 supports)
I'd investigate them if you need these functions.
