someone mentioned that this request was a duplicate of another more popular one, but this one is actually older!  This has been ignored for 2 years?!

I was looking at the Orbi as my next router, as my current one is long in the tooth, and having a mesh would help with some of my coverage issues, but I can't imagine going without this feature and will probably buy something else.  I've only had my current router for 5 or 6 years, but gargoyle (which it runs) has had it for over 10 years.  There's a big difference between an "idiot light" on a dashboard saying "there's a problem with your bandwidth being chewed up" and being able to target where it is coming from, and go on to deal with it.  (HEY KID#3! stop youtubing in 4k! your screen can't even display that!)
