The hard part about this discussion is that not only can't we use a NetGear based add-on or have it be part of the router itself, we can't even enable port monitoring so we can use a Raspberry Pi device with monitoring software on it to do it ourselves cost effectively. I know it's only been a month, but has anyone come up with a solution yet without breaking the bank or buying all new hardware. I'm not just interested in the device, but being able to see the device, the services and the bandwidth per service. (much like the tools we have in the corporate world.) e.g. YouTube Device 1 : 500 MB Device 2 : 750MB Device 3 : 190 MB Facebook Device 1 : 50MB Device 2 : 20MB etc... etc...
