How to monitor data usage on FWA510?

Eriwet

I have a Zyxel FWA510 indoor 5G router. It works well, however data usage have skyrocketed and my mobile provider tells me it is from the data SIM that I use with this router.

How can I monitor data usage? In the admin portal I can find a list of devices connected, but no meaningful information (e.g., data usage per device). I can also find a traffic log, but same here, not much usable info. Only a total sum of transmitted bytes in or out, but not decided by device, app or service as one would have expected. Not even a time reference.

What I would need to see is basically: what device has used what amount of data at what period in time. How can I do this?

Hi @Eriwet

If your FWA510 is registered with Nebula Control Center, you can monitor the total WAN, LAN, and WLAN usage over the past day on the device's page (Site-wide > Devices > Mobile router). However, please note that the FWA510 does not currently support tracking data usage per individual device.

For more detailed monitoring—such as data usage by device, application, or service—we recommend deploying a Zyxel firewall or security router in your network. These devices offer advanced traffic management features, allowing you to monitor and control data usage with greater precision.
