Is there any way to chart peak network data usage via the app or web interface?

To best determine my entire network's actual peak usage, I need to measure/chart it through the Orbi Router. I don't want to pay for more data from my ISP if it is not necessary. To do that I need to...

Thanks, yes I'm aware of those options. I really want to get to the router level showing graphic usage charts. Thanks

    RBR750 aka RBK753S-100NAS. It's a highend home router $500. I believe it very reasonable to expect something like this to have a feature to measure and chart bandwidth usage.

      Ya thats something that left to business and enterprise class environments. 


      If you had the 50 series, then you could load up Voxels FW and configure a bandwidth plug in. I did it once on my RBR50. Or was that my R7800, can't remember now. He does FW for both 50 series Orbi and the R7800. Nice sutff but take some doing to get it all configured. He doen't work on Orbi AX stuff.
