Hi All
I was on a work call today and noticed my network was sluggish (we can’t get super fast broadband where I live). I logged on to my mesh network to see what was consuming the bandwidth, thinking it was my son downloading a game to his Xbox, to find that my ND5XS2 was consuming 15 mbs whilst it was in standby mode.
Why would that be? I don’t believe there are automated over the air updates are there?
Thanks Robert (I did try and search).
That is referencing tiny packets of data throughout the day, mine was pulling 10mbs for a period of time, I can’t say for how long but I witnessed it for a few mins.
My NDX consistently
Uploads 10-12 MB a day spread evenly across each hour of the day whether used or not.
Download about 3MB a day when not used. Most hours it downloads ~70KB, with every 6th hour downloading 600KB
I do have a few network filters setup (mostly because I can with an Eero mesh, plus it was as a result of the previous thread mentioned) however it may not be having any effect.
Does your Mesh give you totals for the day? Could this just be a 5 minute burst, that doesn’t add up to much over the day?
Hi GM
No my Mesh is pretty basic and doesn’t provide that much insight. I can only see what is logged on to where and how much bandwidth each item is actively consuming at that time.
I live in a rural area without fibre broadband so something consuming 10mbs at any time is actually consuming a lot of my bandwidth.
Funnily, whilst using teh ND5XS2 with Qobuz its never consumes anything like that amount of bandwidth.
I suppose you could always disable the device in your mesh app when not in use, but it’s a bit of a faff.
What mesh is it?
I’m can’t remember what mesh it is, I’m at the office just now so can’t check, but it was a budget one.
Also, not sure if I have the functionality to disable the device.
