    Hi Garrysozo, 

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

     

    Who is your ISP? The data usage displayed from the Mobile app is the estimated data usage. Kindly log into the mobile router setting from a web browser. 

     

    1. From a computer that is connected to your network, launch a web browser.

    2. Enter http://192.168.1.1. A login page displays.

    3. Enter the administrator login password. The password is case-sensitive. The mobile router dashboard displays the estimated data usage in the right pane.

    4. To view more details, click the CHECK MY ACCOUNT link.

     

    Regards,
