Control bandwidth with nighthawk M2

Hi

i do have a M2 device and an internet agreement with 200 Gb a month in 4/5 G

I can only receive 4 G at home

i noticed that working with my device / laptop 10 hours a day (no download of movie), I can only use it no more than 3 days : meaning that I may use 200 Gb during these three

days which looks to be a lot

is there a way to better monitor my consumption ?

is there a way to limit the bandwidth or limit it to certain applications ?

thanks

stephane

  • That is a lot of data in 3 days. 

    There isn't a better way on the M2 but you can look your your specific devices. Both windows and android have data monitoring details in their preferences. (not sure about apple as I'm not an apple guy)

    So you could use them to see what programs/device is using all the data

    Where did you see the data usage, on the LCD or from your carrier account portal?

     

    Could you please capture a log and send PM to me?

     


    - Logon to the webui (http://192.168.1.1 ) as an administrator
    - Navigate to URL http://192.168.1.1/model.json via the same browser window
    - Capture the results (by selecting all + copy) and send it back

     

    Thanks
