Data Usage Meter
I've seen some older posts, but I'm concerned about the data usage meter. I got a notification that I have used half my allotment in just a few days. The vast amount of usage is supposedly in "other"...

What router are you using? Any chance there's a built in tool for checking data utilization? Google will show data up/down by device with options to present real time/ 1 day/ 7 day/ 30 day stats.
I have some Deco XE75s. Sadly they don't have their own data usage monitor.
If you had the pano modem, we could use the cox pano app and see what was using data.
How do I track data usage on Deco?Launch your Deco app and go to MORE > Data Settings.- Set the Data Usage Type as Total or Monthly. ...
- Enable Total/Monthly Data Usage Limit to set total/monthly data allowance and usage alert to prevent data overuse.
- Enter the allowed amount of total/monthly data. ...
- Set Usage Alerts.
Thanks. I think the Deco instructions are just for the 4G/5G routers. Mine doesn't have that option. The parental controls do let me review usage, but only by time, not data. I couldn't find anything on TP-Links site allowing that feature, and several off-site posts complaining it wasn't available.
If the pano wifi will let me track usage that way, I'll pick one up today and set it up. It's worth $5 to see if it can say what's using so much data.How about an update when you have it?
