Feature Request: Bandwidth Monitor
With Comcast and others adding bandwidth caps id love to get internal alerts since Comcast numbers are so out of whack.

Thanks for reaching out. If you haven't yet, please contact our support team so they can take a look into the issue you are having with your Samsung SmartCam.
As for the issue with your NAS device, local area traffic is not reported in these usage numbers.
For more information, please see this help center article.

Jeff C. Great to see the bandwidth usage data show up in the latest release. Is it safe to say the next logical steps in this would be a monthly tabulation per device followed by a historical view per device? I know many here have asked and requested for a similar view and while I am not currently limited by my ISP it would not surprise me for that to change soon.

We don't have a specific list to refer to (we can look to get that added to our Help Center), but in bridge mode, most advanced features are not accessible. This includes bandwidth usage, Family Profiles, and the ability to make any changes to the advanced network settings as those are handled by the upstream router.

I'd love to have this option as well. One of my favorite features of the Google Wifi system that I replaced with Eero was the ability to see detailed monthly internet traffic for each device on my network as well as an overall network wide usage. It's also helpful to keep this information for at least 6 months so you can compare usage over time, since the ISPs monitoring always seems to be off.

I heard about an open source network monitoring tool from a podcast a few days ago.
MTRG < http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/ >
I haven't downloaded or done anything with it yet. I've done a cursory look through its documentation and I haven't found any references to eero. Has anyone tried it? Is it compatible with eero?

I would like to add that with people hitting terrible Comcast data caps, a full usage report is becoming a necessary feature.
My Ubiquiti reports on categories (shopping, streaming) but it falls flat on things like "this month" and also, it's not good at differentiating WAN/LAN traffic.
We need all of this. Total traffic by client and by type. Also broken out WAN/LAN. A family should be able to tell which client is doing what, like "100gb Netflix, 20gb Facebook" etc.

Piling on to add my support for this feature. Knowing how much bandwidth my network used in a month is critical for staying under my caps. Icing on the cake would be per-device or per-persona breakdowns to find the culprit, but the P0 is certainly a log of all the upstream and downstream that went across the WAN.

Want to add my voice to the feature request. Comcast just gave us a notice that we have used 1tb of data in 16 days. I don't see how this is possible but since we switched over to eero there is no way to tell which devices used what and what (if anything) I can even do about it. *Please* implement this feature as soon as possible. We need monthly data usage per device. If I knew my son was streaming Netflix all day I could address it. Right now, I just have nothing to go on.

Please please please implement this feature! Recently I've begun to approach my data cap of 1TB! this is a significant increase in usage over past trends, but I have no idea which device is using all the data and why! Is one of my kids downloading something I don't know about? Is an AppleTV running a streaming app non-stop?Implement a full data usage UI. Allow users to set their billing start/end dates rather than just blindly using the 1st of the month. This is no more difficult to code. Also, set up configurable alerts if you are using more than X% of data in X% of time. I.e. let me say my billing period starts on the 19th and if by the 28th I've used more than 25% of my data, let me know via alert. Again, this would not be difficult to code (or hard code it at 10% or 25% increments. That would be easy if you let people enter when their billing cycle ends. Mine ends on the 20th of each month.

I'm also on the bandwagon of bandwidth monitoring being a necessity. I love the functionality and ease of the Eero, but since Comcast is now charging me for overages, I need to be able to identify which devices are peak data consumers so I know where to start with limiting. (Or at a minimum, validating Comcast's numbers) After all the requests (for months), this feature should not still be listed as "Under Consideration". It should be "Under Development". I hate to lose the features of the Eero, but I am forced to utilize it only as a network of repeaters behind a device running DD-WRT.
