Traffic statistics not working
Installed the Orbi router and satellite last night and everything is working really well except the Traffic statistics. I tried it with and without the traffic meter on and it remains at zero, I also...

Thanks - at this point I am thinking of putting the Orbi into AP mode.
WiFi coverage is stunning - but the router and app features / options are lousy....
Will go back to using an Asus RT-AC68 running asuswrt merlin as my router and the Orbi for WiFi.
Hoping Netgear will add to features and options in the future

One more go at this.
Did a factory reset and now can see traffic stats.
If I enable traffic meter it looks like the max monthly limit is 100,000 MB (100GB).
Comcast now has a monthly cap of 1 TB (1000 GB) - which I hate as a concept (as we all use more data 1 TB will become much more normal and comcast can monetize - we pay for a speed not a cap).
However it seems the Orbi can't check traffic above 100 GB?

I have comcast as well and have gone over this month but wasn't using the router to limit the bandwidth. When I just tried to set it I see the problem you pointed out. I would start a new thread on that issue so hopefully Netgear sees it.

Max can be set to 999,999 Mb

Good point - would still be good to have another digit as (hopefully) caps increase
