Hi Folks,
I purchased an RT-AX88U for the express purpose of monitoring data usage against my Comcast cap and figuring out which devices are using more data than expected. I then purchased an RP-AC1900 to use as a mesh node with a wired backhaul. The system is working well, but it would appear that I lose my data usage information when the router is rebooted. It appears that upgrading to merlin will allow me to solve this by adding a USB drive and making some settings in the Tools menu. Is this correct? Do I need to install Merlin on the mesh node as well? Is there anything I need to watch out for?
Thank you,
Drew
In the attached screen shot it would appear that I rebooted on 08/20. I have had the router more than a month.
