Is there a tool which can monitor bandwidth traffic from every device? This tp link has an app called Tether in which one can connect to their personal router via cloud and access the devices connect but it isn’t recording traffic.

If you mean a tool that can record traffic from every device in your network then it requires some fairly complicated server like paid tool but if you just want the total of bandwidth used by all devices in a network then all you need is a router with SNMP but most consumer level routers lack it so you will have to go with 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT or OpenWrt or buy some older wired router(I remember my old tplink TD-8840T having this feature) having this feature.

Good but as they say, gaming headset are expensive headphones with mic, that is a true statement IMO. But it is the best built headphones I have owned till date, older ones were under 2k though. Had to increase mic gains in Win10 to make my voice easily audible with my room's fan running though, maybe noise cancellation takes its hit on volume.

I purchased this during lockdown in May when WFH started. And I regret buying this.
I had a 100mbps Dlink before this. This TPLink signal strength is very weak. Also the boot time is very high. It takes about 2 mins to properly start.

It does not have simple feature like bandwidth control that even a below Rs1000 router have. I can't limit any particular client. The android app is a joke. For advanced features, you need to login to the web-GUI anyway.

I thought of putting a custom firmware to increase its range and put the missing features but it's memory is very low. It is not supported by dd-wrt.

Yes signal is much weaker than the Dlink in 2.4Ghz. Dont even count 5ghz. It cant even penetrate one wall without drops, much noticeable in a Teams call. Searching for a bakra to whom I can resell this :p

I blindly choose this router because I found a famous you-tuber's positive review on it.

My latest purchase is three Digit Magazines(June+July+August) hard copies from the Website. Received it today. Thank you @digit for the fast shipment.

I used to read digit back in engineering days. I was always very excited back then, specially for the hidden surprises in the DVDs. Seems nothing have changed even now except my laptop does not have a DVD player anymore.

I think there is some issue with your purchased unit as it should not be that bad even assuming worst case scenario(I am using archer C20).

Also are you really spending 18k/month or 4.4 lakh/year on a subscription in which case why are you even buying a 3-4k router. :)
