Bandwidth monitoring by device for Orbi
I'm coming from Google Wifi and could see how much bandwidth each device used per day, week and month. I can't seem to find that option in the Oribi system with firmware 2.1.4.10. It looks like it ...
Netgear, please enable per device traffic monitoring for Orbi, this is important when troubleshooting or checking for infected computers or other issues. I have had this ability in all other routers I've had in the past but am disappointed it does not exist with my new Orbi RBK53 network. Thanks
Been troubleshooting disconnects. Bumped internet speeds from 25 to 75 which helps a TON, but cant figure out what is taking up all that bandwidth
Might enable traffic meter.
I would disable ALL devices. Then enable one device at time and see if you notice any bandwidth issue...
Check for streamers or downloaders or any malware on your PCs if there is any.
Look, the archaic "disconnect everything and then find the hog" method doesn't work in 2018. netgear needs to get their crap together and provide this feature. This is actually infuriating. I have nearly 30 connected devices spanning 2 properties (router + sat). Our home, our rental property, our 2 renters, 4 kids, ourselves, and that's not to mention visitors. I can't just go to every phone, xbox, computer, smart TV, thermostat, and tablet and shut it off until I find the offender.
Orbi is a "premium device" even if considered SOHO. I don't consider this a "premium feature" in 2018. I'm already over my 1 Terabyte/month with Comcast, and I NEED TO KNOW what is sucking up the bandwidth. Come on, netgear. Don't make us go elsewhere for this.You can post this here:
