Monitoring internet traffic on different virtual SSIDs or IP

Post by Steelstar »

Hi people. I am going to buy a 7800dxl.
After reading the manual, it seems that you can't monitor in/outgoing internet traffic of specific virtual SSIDs. That is, if I create a guest SSID "guest1" besides my main SSID, I can't separate/monitor the traffic of both SSIDs, thus I can't measure how much a guest is using the internet.
Is it possible to have traffic monitor on specific IPs instead?

Or are there other Billion products that can do this?

Thanks for helping

The only way to monitor the guest network is using the 'Bandwidth Usage' section. As shown on the attached screen shot.

The guest network will show as wl0.1, wl0 being the main ssid, and wl0.1 being the guest network created
