Traffic Meter issues with FVS336Gv3
I've been having ongoing issues with data usage limits and have recently been trying to use the traffic meter feature of the FVS336Gv3. I have done some searching, but everything is either quite old ...
Thanks for the welcome and reply.
Here are screenshots of what the router traffic meter page says as well as what the ISP says. As I said, the values changed when I changed the allowance mount (it was 133000 and I changed it to 124000 because the reported 123529MB was almost over the limit). Average per day is wrong too (always was). I didn't save a screenshot before I made the change -- I wasn't expecting it to screw it up like it did.
The firmware version in the router is 4.3.5-3.
Not sure what would be a screenshot of the network setup. A particular screen from the router? The router is connected directly to the ISP's modem (4111N), which is in Bridge mode (as close to direct as I can get). There isn't anything else connected to the 4111N. The router is configured with 3 VLANs with only two of them currently being used. All internet on the networks goes through the router. One VLAN goes to a Nighthawk and switch for the main network and the other one goes to another Nighthawk for a guest/isolated network.
Traffic meterUsage (starts over on 19th)
I'm keeping better track of this since the flip over on the 19th. Too soon to really tell anything yet, though.
Happy New Year! :)
As a follow-up on this, I inquired your concern to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support. I got a feedback from the higher tier of NETGEAR Support, the Traffic Meter on the FVS336Gv3 is accurate and there were no bugs on this feature. The FVS336Gv3 is already EoL (End-of-Life). If ever you observed that there is an irregularity within the Traffic Meter feature, there is no new firmware (or fix) that would address it since the ProSAFE VPN Firewall product line has been discontinued.

I am aware that the model and line has been discontinued some time back (unfortunately just after I got it). However, I have to strongly disagree that the features are accurate and that there are no bugs. I have many Netgear routers and the bugs just go from one to the next update/model/etc. with hardly any getting fixed. I was hoping for a work-around or something...
In any case, here are some updated screenshots. As you can see, the "no bugs" are working perfectly.

I realize this is going nowhere, but here it is anyway so you can see what it's showing.
The ISP now shows 115.83GB used through 01-06. The router shows just under 108GB (includes the 7th and part of 8th, which would add 5GB+ to ISP total). The average per day is obviously wrong (but apparently not a bug...). Assuming the router is counting correctly (which I don't assume), why the big difference here? By the end of the month it's off even more.Through 01-06Through 01-08 @ 1:15pm
