Agreed, unfortunately my router does not give me this data, so I have to go device-by-device. I'm hoping the UniFi Dream Machine will solve this both by allowing me to throttle, and giving me the data to address individually.
I did install a firewall/data logging app on a spare Amazon Fire HD8 and found it downloaded several hundred megabytes of advertisements over a week's time despite sitting in a drawer unused. That was an easy fix.
Another glaring data hog was an Amazon FireTV stick which was set to the highest quality.
Overall it's been an eye opening experience to see how many devices consume bandwidth with no regard for optimization or giving users control.
- katbyte 6y agoi have a UDM-pro and it's done a decent job at that - it's really neat tbh. But only get a UDM pro if you don't need link agger or the ability to control multiple networks from the same controller (i wanted to throw a USG at my parents but can't join it to the UDM pro because.. reasons). it has some annoying limitations (IDS/IPS cannot keep up with my internet anymore) that if i knew about i'd have gotten a USG-pro and a cloudkey.
