Traffic to Site / IP traffic stats

Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.1

Some of the competitor products record and display the top traffic stats for websites/content online along with the volume of traffic used.

 

It would be beneficial if this could be implemented in some way to show that last 30 days 10gb was to Amazon Video, 50gb to Netflix etc etc..   Is this something under consideration?

agreed small business with 100 clients (computers and cell) and our internet bandwidth is quite poor - so we need to know which devices are hammering "netflix" or Spotify. Its hard to "catch people" since we cannot tell what device(s) are the culprit.

Agreed.

I help a small business that is unable to upgrade their ISP.
Internally we have a 10gbe backplane - but externally we are stuck with 300mbps down and 10 up. *Yeesh*


We have many devices showing high internet bandwidth for little reason, but we cannot simply "block them" - as some are also business devices.

They grew from using an Asus Router with those features into Omada, and I miss them badly, as we could know what who and URLs to block - or track access.

We also have had Staff (thanks to asus) accessing sites that they really should not have and have since been terminated due to it.

 

Our Current solutions are:

We are blocking the usual URLs in Omada now spanning Private and Guest networks

- and that helped somewhat, but we can see the staff are finding workarounds.
We have managed to throttle the Staff wifi network and this helped immensely

- but it then makes the compliant ones complain it's slow, so now everyone is unhappy.

We also simply block mac address when they try to log into the "better" network wifi instead on personal devices

- but then we see spikes in their business devices.


Implementing "an HR Policy" isn't as effective as just "turning it off", since people will do what they can to get away with it.
The more "surgical strike" of URL blocking is much preferred, and avoids many arguments.

We "need" that feature.

our ship uses a slow satellite connection (VSAT) and I would like to know where the traffic is being used
