Nighthawk X6 R8000: one 5G network suddenly becomes super slow
Hi!
Not sure if you guys have experience with this but thought I should give it a try.
I have two 5G networks enabled and let's call them network A and network B. Sometimes when I am usi...
aresyeah, oh, you are on an R8000. On the QoS page might be what you want. On the bottom of that page is a link, "Click here to see Bandwodth Utilization by Device and Application". Not sure I noticed that on the prior F/W, but it is on F/W V1.0.4.28_10.1.54.
You do have to enable QoS though and that might cause Internet Speed reduction.
Thank you for your reply sir!
I don't have DYNAMIC QoS enabled.
Do you know any good software to check bandwidth usage for each device on the netrwork?

Well, some versions of s/w on some NG Routers will show you that info on the TRAFFIC METER and/or ACCESS CONTROL, I think the R9000 does that, not sure.
Short of that, I think most commercial grade routers will do that. Some Server s/w can as well, but that wouldn't work for you and it requires a server the Internet connection is on usually.
You can Google 'netgear traffic meter' and see some threads on this.
My Ubiquiti Unifi setup will tell the bandwidth usage by device and also the amount of bandwidth used by each app on the device. That said this is a step up from the consumer grade router and wireless AP's. Takes more tech knowledge then most folks have on this forum I suspect as well. Consumer grade seems more focused on providing things like parental control which the Unifi does not provide.
I am not using Ubiquiti Unifi but thanks anyway!
Unfortunately, the traffic meter doesn't really tell me which device is using a lot of bandwidth, it just tells me how much data I consume by month.

I found it!
I won't have it on in normal situations, just going to turn it on to check network usage.
Thanks for your help!
