I have an Airport Extreme router, a Cisco DPC3008 cable modem, and Charter/Spectrum internet service. I'm way past tired of Charter's price increases for giving me 55% of their advertised speed and am looking at alternative internet service providers. I used to be able to get to the login screen of the cable modem to be able see basic traffic information but was never able to login to the modem itself but never needed to and still don't. Now I can't even see the login screen which as I recall had traffic data. Is there a way I can get network traffic data from my Airport Extreme?

Thanks
 
I think I found the answer to my own question. A good app appears to be PeakHour. Unfortunately it looks like Charter and Apple don't want me to be able to monitor my network usage as Apple removed the necessary SNMP function in the Airport Extreme and Charter locked out monitoring of the cable modem. Using PeakHour I could monitor the traffic of my Mac but most of my usage is from the Apple TVs and iPad. Oh well. Not the worst thing in the world.
