Gargoyle equivalent for Netgear R7000?

Hi everyone! First off I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere, I have been searching for hours and have not been able to find the information I need.
I am looking for a way to monitor and, more importantly, set quotas on the amount of data being downloaded by a single device on my network. Basically there are users on my network that tend to use up all of my monthly data, and so I would like a way to cut them off once they hit a certain amount of data. I have seen that Gargoyle can do this, but unfortunately Gargoyle cannot be run on my Netgear R7000 router.
I would prefer not to have to buy a whole new router just for this reason. Are there any other firmware upgrades that can offer this feature?
Thank you so much in advance!

wdr3600 is good but if you want ac then you could try the TP-Link Archer C7 or the Linksys WRT1900AC

I assume you mean another firmware for the R7000 that does quotas?

Yes, this is exactly what I am hoping to find!

No sorry you can flash ddwrt but it will not do what Gargoyle can do.

According to
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=46717&p=3 the R7000 is supported in version 15.05 of OpenWRT, but only the wired portion. There are no open source drivers for the wifi chipset. As Gargoyle is based on OpenWRT, it should be possible to compile it for the R7000, but that would be useful only if you can live without the wireless. You could add dedicated wireless APs behind the R7000, but then you could also replace it with a supported router like e.g. a TP-LINK Archer C7 V2.0. or C5 V1.2. or similar.

You need to compare Netgear R7000
http://www.routerstop.com/netgear-r7000 ... er-review/ with TP link archer c7 to decide which one will be the most convenient for your situation. To be honorable, either of them is ok. R7000 is a newer device and has more functions, as for me
