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.

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?
-
curtis This won't work with Eero since MRTG depends on SNMP.
-
noah82 Thanks for the reply. Do you know if there anything out there, open source or commercial, that will monitor an eero mesh network?
-
curtis Nope, this will need to be implemented by Eero unfortunately.
-
@noah82 I was afraid of that.

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.

Please help with this feature. There is no way I am using as much data as Comcast is reporting and it is costing me a fortune to fight. No chance I have used 409GB of data in 7 days. :(
-
I’d love to see this as well. Cox just notified us that they are implementing data caps and we’ve consistently been over that line. I’d love to see what devices are the biggest offenders over time to curb usage for certain devices or profiles.
-
Thank you, everyone, for sharing your continued interest in this feature. We will be sure to let everyone know if there are any updates.
Thanks again!

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.
-
I concur. Having looked through all the suggestions for improvements on this board this is absolutely the #1 useful feature!
-
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.
-
Can we please get an update from Eero on this? I feel like we're just beating our collective heads against a wall. I'm very disappointed that it has already been 9 months with no resolution on what is a simple feature request.
-
I honestly don't know why this isn't a feature yet. Eero is now literally the ONLY mesh networking system that does NOT have a bandwidth monitor as part of the app, and there's no technical excuse for this, which is also considered a mandatory standard feature by the networking industry and FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act) as of 2014. I repeat, Eero is now the ONLY mesh networking system with NO bandwidth monitoring.
Sorry guys, but there really is no excuse for not having this, and no excuse for no IPv6 support either. Everyone else has that too.
-
Please add this ASAP. My internet provider has instigated a data cap of 1TB and I am consistently 1.5 to 2x over that. I have no alternative ISP providers so I am stuck with Cox. That means my internet price has more than doubled with $100 per month overage charges. I really need to find the individual devices on my network that are hogging the data and the total data used by my network to confirm what the ISP says I am using. If Eero doesn't add this I will be forced to try another system similar to Eero, even though I do like it.

Leave a 1-star rating in the App Store citing this lack of feature and lack of responsiveness to customers. The only thing that will make them fix this is lost sales.
