I've just purchased a router that be flashed with OpenWRT or Lede -- the WD My Net N750 router.
Three people will share one internet service. Their internet service is not unlimited. It is metered and pricey.
Amy will have just one laptop.
Britney will have a laptop and smartphone.
Courtney will have a Linux Mint desktop, a Linux Mint laptop, an Android tablet and an Android phone.
Most likely, all will be connecting via WiFi (as opposed to ethernet cable).
How can each person see how much she's used per month (i.e., billing cycle)?
Ideally, each person has her own login username and password.
Ideally, each person can check her own usage for the month by going to some IP address to see their current usage. (The admin would have access to everyone’s bandwidth/network info.)
It would also be nice if there was a way to cap usage for a certain person, or when the group hits X gigabytes. (Because there may be overage fees.)
Ideally, the page that the person goes to to check their real-time bandwidth usage will be user-friendly. And won't require them to add up daily bandwidth usage.
No one will game, netflix, torrent.
You already have a thread about this.
