Increase maximum monthly limit field for Traffic Monitor (needed by Comcast customers)
I have a data usage plan from my cable provider (Comcast XFINITY) that provides me with a terabyte (1 TB or 1024 GB) of Internet data usage each month as part of your monthly service. The router’s t...
I have this same issue I need to enter 1024000 Mbytes but cannot enter the last zero. Sorta crazy this is a problem.
Could be 1,024,000, or could, as others have pointed out, be 1,048,576. Either way, if you run out of space in the field due to it not accommodating enough digits, put all 9s. So, instead of 1,024,000, you'd put 999,999. Regardless of the actual data quota you're given, you'll be cut off or warned a little early (24 GB to ~48.5 GB), but you won't go over, and it's at least reasonably close. This should work as a short-term fix, at least until they update the firmware to account for larger data quotas.
For Netgear, if anyone's reading this, I'd suggest adding more digits, and/or changing it from being a static unit of Mbytes to a dropdown menu of a few various common units (MB, GB, TB, etc.) and the router doing the conversion itself. So users would have the option of putting 1 TB or 1,000 GB, or whatever they're given as their quotas by their ISPs, and can input it in the same format, hopefully eliminating issues with unit conversions by users. (e.g., does 1 TB = 1,000,000 or 1,024,000 or 1,048,576 MB?)
