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

I’m sorry bu eero will never be able to do it. With their current platform So stop asking.. their current systems do not have the proper hardware (memory storage) and processing power required. You need to be able to filter and measure TCP traffic . Not possible. Look for a router that will support DD-WRT.. (Google it or DuckDuck Go It) this software will allow you to monitor everything from data usage to who is using your data. Good Luck!

  Mgreer316 Because the developer's responses in reddit are oriented towards solving problems and explaining how things work. This forum is for suggesting new features, which isn't exactly the same thing :-). Just go to the eero subreddit and ask your questions...if they're in the person in question's bailiwick, you'll get a good answer.

  jimdenver I guess you were wrong. They did do (it took long enough) and they did an excellent job of executing it. I've got it on my 2.5 year old 2nd gen eero pro system (currently Android only but iOS to come within a week or 2). It's a comprehensive implementation and is exactly what we've been asking for for years. I suggest that unless you know something for an absolute fact that you not make definitive statements regardless of what somebody else says. The user base asked and asked and asked and finally they delivered. If feedback is consistent from enough people then things can happen. And that's why you don't quit asking.

  atrieger thanks for the reply.. we both agree it can be done... it just won’t... I don’t know about your eero but mine is the pro with the three small pucks. Mine is set to bridge mode with about 15 devices.. not much. But the gateway eero attached to my Comcast modem is running hotter then normal ... and with that; do you really think it could handle router duties and maintain logs for weeks and months? I don’t... thanks!

Well, I had hopes but it looks like it didn't happen. I had hoped that we'd see some type of bandwidth monitoring with the new eero Pro 6. But it doesn't appear to have been addressed. I don't understand eero. This request was out way before design of their latest offering was ever started. Yet knowing this, they proceeded to engineer, design, develop, and produce a product without this critical functionality. They've got to believe this isn't important. Well, I'm just going to repurchase the Asus Zenwifi XT8 and be done with eero. Too bad because I really loved the reliability and design of their system. But if they don't care to listen, then I don't care to persist in supporting their business.

Now I'm confused. I asked this question on Amazon and one guy said, "No, it's not there", but another guy said, "Yes, it is there.". This is what he wrote:

"Yes, it does. Probably with the software update. It's all marked "New" on my app. At the bottom of the android screen is a spiky line. Tap and the data usage will be exposed. It is staggeringly complete. Every device has down and up listed. And there are totals for the network."

Can somebody confirm this? Also, my question made it clear that I was after data over a time period (day/week/month), not a real time measurement. I don't know if he understood that or not.

  Mgreer316 I looks like it is available for android.
  
  I do not see stats with eero 6 pros and iphone with firmware v6.0.1 and app v6.0.0

I see I'm answer my own question. FINALLY! I just upgraded my firmware and viola! Houston, we have a launch! It's there! Per device data consumption! (though it costs $3/month to get access). Now I'll order the Pro 6 and see what kind of speed/coverage improvements I realize. This thread can finally be closed.

  Mgreer316 they've provided per device for a while now, although it's a little cumbersome. What I need and I think a lot of the other folks here is total bandwidth across all devices. If they could just add them up, that would go a long way for a lot of us. So this is definitely shouldn't be closed yet.

  ANeeroFull No, they haven't. This is new and exactly what we've been waiting for. This appears to be a part of version 6 level firmware that's just been released to coincide with the Pro 6 release I'm assuming.

  Mgreer316 That does look exactly like what we all need, but I just updated my app and eeros and still not there. Maybe they've only updated the Android app (I'm on iPhone)?
  
  I do pay for Secure+ btw, so that can't be the reason it's missing. Kinda disappointing that if it's now available, at least on android, they wouldn't mention it here or anywhere else, including the release notes.

  ANeeroFull Yes, I'm on Android. They flagged/announced the new capability in the app. But nowhere else as far as I can tell and I've been looking for any new information after the rehearse of the Pro 6.

  ANeeroFull When you updated you're app did your system reset? Mine did so I'm wondering if the firmware was also updated?

  Mgreer316 Mine did. Both my phone app and eero status both say they were updated. I'm curious, did your release notes mention this as one of the new features?
  
  This is all mine (both app and fw) says:
  
  Support for eero 6 and eero Pro 6
  
  Smart Home Hub: eero 6 systems connect your Zigbee smart home devices to Alexa
  
  Frustration-Free Setup: Link your Amazon account to seamlessly connect supported devices to your eero networks
  
  System stability and security improvements
  
  and then apparently there was a 6.0.1 firmware release on 11/1 that simply says:
  
  System stability improvements

  ANeeroFull My update notes say the same thing as yours. There's no mention of it in the notes. However, there is on my Home page. See the attachment.

  ANeeroFull Also, the other odd thing is I have full data for all my devices for all of October. So they've been collecting the data before we could access it.

  Mgreer316 Oh well, thanks for catching this and correcting me. Hopefully, iPhone will get it soon too. Still amazing they haven't bothered to update this thread at all.

  thaddeusq I responded to your other post. But try to look at different slices of your data (day view, month view, etc). Before I subscribed I saw the current week's data. However, when I tried to view other slices, it would let me.

  Mgreer316 Responded to the other, but just so it's here as well. You are correct. I had forgotten that I subscribe to Secure but not Secure+. That means you are correct in that it is $3/month. Thanks for setting me straight!

  thaddeusq Before I subscribed, I saw this week's view of my data. However, when I tried to look at a day view or a month view or anything other than the default week, it wouldn't let me. It essentially said I had to subscribe.

  Mgreer316 You're right. I subscribe to Secure, but not Secure+. I had forgotten about subscribing to Secure. You are correct, that makes it $3/month.
