I think that’s the AC66U (B1). Looks like the AC66U is limited to 380.xx firmware, which must not have the traffic analyzer. whelp, back to the drawing board I guess.
That’s disappointing.My old RT-N66U had that feature so it’s surprising they wouldn’t support it on the newer RT-AC66U.
hmm, I have an RTN66R… I guess i could try flashing that.
@slipperypig, FWIW, I have three Wyze up and running 24/7, with a boat load of triggered events (cats and dog moving around), as well as a couple of Wyze units up for tests.
According to Comcast, my monthly usage varies between 80 GB - 120 GB monthly (information tracked since early 2012). That includes a lot of Netflix streaming, regular browsing, Windows 10 images, etc. Hence, did not see any real change in bandwidth usage after the Wyze camera were installed in spring of 2018, and I don’t think anyone needs to be overly concerned in most use cases and connectivity situations.
(only peak in usage was when teenage nephews were here for two weeks, spiked to up over 340 GB that month…
)
A quick free test for bandwidth usage, at least for iphone users, create hotspot on phone, connect cam to phones hotspot, leave for a period of time, then see how much bandwidth is used under mobile data usage.
My daily usage is 55Gb (3 cameras and of course I have 2 kids are watching YouTube every day). I have turned the camera off with wyze cam app. Do I have to unplug the camera physically to check the traffic?
You need a router that supports IP monitoring. I haven’t had this problem since it originally happened and the camera was replaced.
I monitor my mom, (age 92) with 2 cams, nearly constantly. 350GB /month, and I just hit my max 1.2TB on Jan 22. I’m pretty sure your local access doesn’t use the internet data. Mom, has nothing else connected. No computer, or phone. I have 13 cams, so I’d have hit the max in 5 days, if the HD was going out and back again. Still eye opening. The data usage IS acurate, not just a Comcast fabrication. I have data monitoring on with both mom’s and my Routers. Mom’s is at 370GB/month on Jan 24th, and mine is at 1.3TB. I don’t rally see away around this for me. Mom has sitters 4 hrs a day, and I’m currently partially paralyzed, and have been for 3 years, requiring a lot of care here recently… Comcast did tell me the max is $100. month , and they have an unlimited plan, which will look into, when I feel better.
Where do you get those charts
Yes, How do you monitor the data usage? I have had to turn off both of my cameras because I almost met my cap (500 GB more than expected). Thanks.
