Anyway to see how much internet bandwidth each device is using?

Firmware Version: V7.2.6.31_5.0.24

 

I have tried the Orbi App's Traffic Meter.  It only shows the total bandwidth usage for the entire network.

 

 

 

Is there a way to get a breakdown of the bandwidth usage based on each device on the network?

 

Or a breakdown of the peak total internet usage?  We are trying to see if we need to upgrade our internet speed but I can't find a usable metric from the router.

No.  No Orbi router provides this information.  It is the "Number 1" supported proposal since it was suggested in August of 2018, with 497 Kudos  (more than twice the next highest) and 190 comments.

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-For-Home/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-home/tab/most-kudoed 

Scrolling down the list shows that similar suggestions have been made again (and again).

 

A cynical person might observe that in the six years since it was proposed, this suggestion remains "new".  It has not been reviewed, investigated, resolved, declined, etc.

@CrimpOn I'd agree with your implied "the ideas section is pointless". I've never seen anything implemented and its more of a "feels good' section
