I thought I had read somewhere before I purchased that the Deco M5 allowed me to track Data Useage. All I can find it seeing who is logged in and their speed.

Is there a way to set it up to see the data usage. The reason I purchased this was because Comcast said my data usage went from my normal 400GB for the month to the current 1.7TB and we're not doing anything different. I need to figure this out since this is exceeding the cap by a lot and I was hoping the Deco M5 would show me what the cause was.

This doesn't seem to be a feature as of now (at least, I've not seen it). I would suggest using a data usage app on the device as a workaround.

This is desperately needed. With all the massive home-based internet usage the data caps are all getting maxed out. I can’t see where our data is getting sucked up so fast. Please help!

@BHA55 

If TPLINK does not commit to develop this feature, l will return my X20.

 

Very disappointed, should be a very basic feature.

+1 all you can do is to see a snapshot of the current usage

@Jookieapc  

how to get snapshot?

this month my data usage exceeded the limit with some suspicious daily usage exceeds 150GB/day. can't figure out which device ate so much data.

  @TP-Link it's not useful, definitely needed the option to track the historical data usage per device.

In Windows 10, I used Settings - Network & Internet - Data Usage - and this shows applications and their total network traffic over last 30 days. No individual days or hours drill-down to help with better diagnosis, or data per device which is the real problem raised here.

 

+1 upvote for improving Deco logs & reports for device reports.
