Look to buy a router that will log network traffic

I am looking to purchase a router that will help me identify which machine on my network is responsible for large downloads/uploads from/to the web that are eating up my data cap. It looks like the Gargoyle Routers are one of the few resonalbly priced routers that will log network traffic.
I see from the screenshots on the gargoyle website that the Gargoyle routers will log Bandwidth:

[Direction], [Interval Length], [Intervals Saved], [IP], [Interval Start], [Interval End], [Bytes Used]
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/lib ... dwidth.jpg

and Web usage:
[Time of Las Visit], [Local IP],[IP Visited], [domain visited]
http://www.gargoyle-router.com/wiki/lib ... webmon.jpg

The Bandwidth data has almost everything I need except the [IP Visited] data that appears in the Web usage.
If I get one of the Gargoyle routers, is there any way to get the combined data?

NO but if you assign static IPs to the devices on your network then you can see what they are called on the graphs.

EG my phone is called Tapper's S4mini and on the graphs that is what shows up under host name.

I hope this helps.
