He can use Wireshark https://www.wireshark.org/

The key to this, is observability.

The device running Wireshark must be located where it
can see all WAN traffic. This assumes WAN-bound traffic
is the source of the complaint.

That's why in the diagram, I placed a PC between the
Internet modem and the rest of the network. The machine
needs two NIC interfaces, to do it this particular way.

--- FIOS modem/router ---- PC_with_two_NICs --- router ---- PCTV
(Set for Internet ---- PC2
Connection Sharing) ---- Buffalo NAS
(Wireshark here) ---- WD Cloud NAS

In the old days, you'd stick a hub there, instead of a dual-NIC PC, but hubs
have pretty much disappeared now. I haven't seen one since the mid to late
80's, and it was proudly advertised as 10 megabit, so it'd be a bottleneck
by today's standards.

A pfSense box would be a decent choice for a proxy/gateway. Meanwhile, it
would also serve as a firewall.
