Using a 2820 and Smart Monitor.

When you enable port mirroring, we want an option to mirror wireless traffic coming in/out of the Draytek. Currently, you don't get to see any wireless traffic, which means there's potentially a huge hole in the Smart Monitor information - we basically have no idea what people are doing over wireless, which renders Smart Monitor much less useful.

We'd like to see an additional checkbox in the port monitor page which allows wifi traffic to be mirrored to the mirror port also.

I've asked but didn't get anywhere with that, it'd certainly be nice if it could but from what I can tell (looking at the inside of mine :) ) the wireless is completely separate from the LAN switch. With the way the port mirroring works I suspect it's a switch function it's using to do the port mirroring. I got around it previously by using another router set up as an access point to provide the wireless though.
