P.P.S. You do not need to monitor traffic to know how much you really need. Add up maximum amount of video streaming done/possible in your house. Netflix 4K/Ultra HD (UHD) 4K: 15 Mbps MS Teams 1.5Mbps per HD stream. It is more likely than not that your wifi coverage is not ideal or there some interference from neighbours than that you need more than 100Mbps (mind you during peak hours that can drop... here is quick way to monitor that https://github.com/alexjustesen/speedtest-tracker )
