Hey guys, I'm looking for suggestions for monitoring bandwidth on my home network. Specifically, monitoring usage by device.
We use a ton of bandwidth for various things from streaming to game consoles etc, and with so many connected devices it's tough to nail down the devices consuming the most. I want to monitor all devices on my network to figure out where changes needed to be made. A way to limit bandwidth by device would be nice as well
I'm assuming the most obvious method would be an alternative firmware on the router. I have several routers at my disposal - Netgear R7000, R8000P, and R7800. I'd prefer to stick with stock firmware, but if an alternative firmware is the only way, I'm up for it.
I'm open for any suggestions at this point, I just need a way get this under control, and keep it that way.
Thanks!
