Not sure about monitoring, but I always put any device I don’t trust on a jailed LAN/AP.

A lot of home routers will give you a traffic graph - if yours doesn't you can either find one that does or flash/build one.

I currently run opnsense which has an ok graph out of the box, I haven't fiddled with it to see if there's something fancy I could do here.

I also used to use IPFire which was slightly clunkier but had a nicer usage graph.

Your ISP should give you a bandwidth usage meter.

Haha. My ISP barely gives me an Internet connection

You can rest assured your ISP can produce the graph. If your graph reaches a certain shape, they'll start shaping your traffic for you to something they prefer all while charging you the normal rate.

Aren't cisco machines compromised by default by design? I imagine all of them are at this point. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
