What is typical traffic download/upload for an extension? I deployed a system a few months ago and some of the extensions show over 500GB download and 500GB upload…and they’re extensions that aren’t used very often and do not have anything connected to the passthrough port. Two of them, for example, show download/upload totals of 587GB/556GB and 537GB/532GB when I look at them on our network info under devices. Other extensions in the same building are showing 5GB/1GB or around that. The ones in our office area that are used more are around 6GB/3GB. Can anyone explain the differences? Why some showing so much more traffic than others? Anything to be concerned with? Are these stats potentially incorrect? Just kind of caught my attention so I thought I’d ask.
Can you look at the device and see where the traffic is going? I know Omada just released version 6 on 10/31/25 which is supposed to fix some of the incorrect reporting with clients. Have you upgraded to that yet?
Hey Willie, thanks for the reply. I wasn’t aware that v6 had dropped so no, we’re still on whatever the 5.x latest is. I’ll check and see if the v6 is available for us.
I looked around briefly on Omada and couldn’t find where it would tell me where the traffic is going. I guess I need to dig into that further and see. Could be I need to enable some additional features or something? I’ll see what I can find. We’re running an oc200 controller.
EDIT: Just looked and it doesn’t show any updates waiting. Might be a manual update available, though, I guess. I usually just wait until they show up in the interface. Or probably in RC status and not on the ‘stable’ release channel yet.
