Alien Router and Malware
-
Hi everyone! Just a quick question, I've been averaging about 60 GB a day of usage for my home setup however the last 3 days I see my data rising from 150GB to 300GB then 400GB a day. I haven't downloaded anything large but I do have over 15 devices connected.
My question is if a device on my network has Malware would it jump up that much of data usage? Also, if a device does have Malware would it be able to effect the Alien Router or would the Alien Router be able to block Malware from infecting the router?
Thanks in advance!!!

@3rdeyeUNBLIND are you running NASA? I have 73 devices connected and would be lucky if I max out 10 GB per day

Sorry I'm new to this but what is NSAS?
-
@3rdeyeUNBLIND sorry meant 'NASA'. Lol... I mean even if you are streaming 4K 24/7 you would probably be hard pushed to need that much data. Can you not see on the AmpliFi app what device is transferring that much data? What sort of devices are connected to the router?

With all do respect.. How does your comment help me?

@3rdeyeUNBLIND Apologies as I was only pointing out that your situation appears quite unusual (something that you have obviously also realised). I will respectfully bow out.

No worries at all! Just want to know if Malware can infect the Alien Router if a device like a computer or mobile phone is connect to the Alien router?
