Traffic meter in firmware V2.7.3.22
Anyone else utilizing the traffic meter again after the issues with it were fixed in version 2.7.3.22? I re-enabled it on my system and have it set to reset the counter at the beginning of each month...

I re-enabled it on my system and have it set to reset the counter at the beginning of each month, however it doesn't actually reset unless I reboot the router. When I view the traffic meter information via the web interface, it claims the period has started on Oct 1st, however the data counter is still carrying over from last month. The same issue occurred on Sept 1st.
I agree. There are two issues with my Orbi Traffic Meter report:
- The setting is to reset the Traffic Meter at 00:00:00 on the 1st day of the month.
But, the report at the bottom says the table was reset at 1:00AM on Oct 1.
"Who cares about an hour?" Just seems sloppy to me. Which is correct? (or, is neither of them correct?) - My statistics did not "carry over" from september, but part of them certainly did.
September total is shown as 310,412/10,347, and
The total for Oct 1- 5 is shown as 249,401/62,350
This is obviously incorrect. If it took 30 days to total 310,412 there is no way the traffic reached 249.401 in only 5 days.
I am not happy with the thought that a Factory Reset may be required after Netgear auto-updates firmware.

Would be to try the FR to validate the problem with TM. If it still happens after the reset then you can open a support ticket and let NG know.
I'll change my TM to match configuration here and see if this happens on Orbi AX.
