Is there a way to monitor the WAN port (ISP traffic) on the AX88U?

[Logi]

I am building a security network lab at home and I would like to monitor the external internet connection from the ISP, before the NAT operation happens, at the WAN port, is there a way to configure the AX88U to do this? Or I need an additional equipment connected? Thank you

By monitoring, do you mean by using tcpdump or wireshark?

If so, you can use both if you are willing to use Merlin's firmware and install entware.

Using just the stock firmware GUI, I don't think so. But I could be wrong.

Yes, packet tracing is what I need, I will investigate Merlin’s FW, is there a quick guide to entware?
