If people don't reply with their experience with the capabilities of the routers they use, it'd be a good idea to peruse the Merlin or DD-WRT boards, or even join and aks questions. Generally, the cheaper it is, the less it will be able to do. IOW, as an example, though a particular ASUS router may be capable of using the Merlin firmware, and may be listed as such, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to have the ability to break down the data by device like others may. If you go the way of the 3rd party router, make sure you do your research to know what a particular router will be capable of, as even if they can use the firmware mentioned, it doesn't necessarily mean they will have all of the capabilities that the firmware can provide.

There's no app or anything for the TV, or at least not that I'm aware of. The differences are generally less than 1. the totals are very close to the DD-WRT LAN tab (and also to what my ISP is reporting). Not wanting to shameless plug the new script but Im really pleased with the numbers Im getting. Apple devices have the built in Activity Monitor, and there are also apps for them. Theres a couple of things on the horizon. The modem can tell you what devices are connected to it, or were connected, but are no longer, since the last time the modem was powered, but it can't tell you how much data each device is/was using.įor the Windows PCs there's the Glasswire you mentioned.

Other than a 3rd party router that has the ability to monitor data usage by device, which is primarily the more expensive types using 3rd party firmware, like Merlin or DD-WRT, dependent on router brand, there's really no way to monitor the data usage by device.
