Port Mirroring on Nighthawk X6 AC3200 R8000 ?

I have port mirroring configured on our Switches for a Cyber Security system and I've discovered some suspicious activity that I need to investigate further that is comming from a device using our Wi-Fi router (Nighthawk X6 AC3200 R8000). However, in order to home-in on this device I really need to add a SPAN (port mirror) to the Nighthawk, but I cannot see any settiungs for this. Can anyone please advise me if this is possible? Perhaps there is a way to configure this through scripting?

 

Many thanks in advance!

    Hi Shepherd-Spy,

     

    The router does not support port mirroring. Most routers that support that feature are business routers or switches.
