Good day/evening

I want to monitor what is using up all my data at home and at the factory i have two separate accounts for data at 50 gigs each. but some how for the last three months we have been capping it very easily.

At home it is my mother, father myself and our domestic, each have a phone/iphone, tab/ipad 2 Mac laptops a windows 7 laptop and windows 10 laptop oh and a Wii. running through 2 routers of which one is a repeater

At work we have a few iPhones and android devices a Windows desktop pc hardwired, a few windows laptops and mac laptops. all the other devices run on wifi through 3 separate routers that are daisy chained.

I did pick up that my phone was a culprit of high data usage but there are more and i would like to find out what and who please. also if possible what they are using it for.

PLEASE, do not tell me it is an apple thing or this or that i would just like for someone to help me please...

Thank you.

The router would need that feature and it is not a common feature in consumer routers. If you want to do lots of work you can load third party firmware and some of those have basic data montoring. To get real good reports you are going to need a dedicated server that the router can send collected data to. The router does not have a place to store long term data or the processing power to produce reports so you need a server to do that part and let the router just collect the data. This is not as simple as it sounds though this is a fairly advanced configuration on the router....not a beginner project really.

Yes you need to have your own local server for this kind of stuffs.... You can use SNMP for monitoring all the devices to know how much bandwidth they are using.... You can use MRTG and Cacti Graphs for monitoring them... And you need to setup SNMP on each device which you needed to monitor.
Good luck!!
