More information from the Route10 Dashboard

I am mostly a fan of the Route10 and I understand its a work in progress and some if not all of these things might in the development pipeline but coming from Unifi its really hard to know what my Route 10 is doing.

  1. What WAN connection is currently active
  2. Which WAN connections are available to use
  3. What is the IPs of each WAN connection
  4. Current traffic, I can be uploading at 30Mbps from my connection but the Route10 will show 30Mbps in both directions
  5. History of WAN health

I don’t expect Alta to match Unifi feature for feature including design but anything close to the PFSense dashboard would be awesome. Just blocks of information that are live would be awesome.

I was just writing the same request!
Add to this: both for IPv4 and IPv6.

You can see the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of your WAN connections by hovering over the IP address in the Network page. You can see the traffic for the WAN port itself by clicking on the device icon to the left of the name (on the Network page), then expand the Traffic dropdown.

I’ve moved this to the feature request category, as it seems more suitable to the message. Please add your vote as well @a5a7e2f748a97485aa26

Example of point 4:

This reads as the router is sending the exact same traffic in both directions which cannot be right?
The upload and download are both 0?

I could be wrong but I think this is being shown as intended. I just did one of those online speed tests and took a screenshot whilst it was uploading.

My computer is uploading data to my access point (bottom row).

My switch is downloading that data from the access point and uploading it to my Route10 (middle row).

My Route10 is downloading that data from the switch and uploading it to the internet (top row).

Hence it looks like the traffic is going in both directions. It’s coming in and going out. Well that’s my understanding of it!

Any specific reason why its hidden under a tooltip? Theres so much screen real estate thats not being used, it just seems like a strange design choice to hide things like WAN IP, and DDNS address under it. Also I cant seem to find this at all under the mobile app.

I agree the dashboard needs to be customizable. Like today I was playing around and I can’t see any of the uplinks utilization separately unless I look at this tiny tooltip. It’s frustrating as there is so much space you could add these as well. I also couldn’t find any place to see how much total data has been transferred out my wan(see if anything is running wild).
