Netgear, just found this post and greatly disappointed, with lack of home network tools (none!). I just started to use a Nighthawk-C7100V router and the 'Traffic Meter' section is very poor, with the sad Traffic Status graph (tells me nothing). As these folks mentions above, I have a ISP that has data caps. I have one of your 16 port data switched and two 8 port switches with lots CAT5 on 10-15 devices. I was looking for tools to tie all of these devices together and help me find the bandwidth hogs and data risks/firmware (my kids got Xbox, and kids use WIFI iPhone Netflix streaming). I expected to be showered with free Netgear home network/tracking tools, ported over from your commercial network clients (for free!) . I bought the Netgear name for the above points (keep all same brand), but you folks are greatly lacking. I was looking for sniffer and Wireshark kind of network tools AND data risk identification alerts to be captured and the IP/device level. Running these open source tools on a PC, take up a whole device. What if I a install a NAS on my network, there are no tools.
