Wifi traffic

Why can I not view my wifi traffic like on other routers.... if I'm paying for a service shouldn't I be allowed to monitor what is being visited one the wifi I pay for.... I really don't understand why I can not view what devices are contacting what sites ... I could even go without knowing what device I just want to be able to view my wifi traffic..... what's the deal with that.!?

Google made a conscious decision not to collect that data, so there is no feature to enable you to do that unfortunately. The Wifi features of the Google Home app, and your Google Wifi and Nest Wifi devices do not track the websites you visit or collect the content of any traffic on your network.

If this is important to you, I’d encourage you to also send this feedback directly to Google. You will not receive a response, unless Google need more details from you, however the team are still reading the feedback.
