Nighthawk(R) X4S R7800 - Traffic Counter/Meter

I have a Nighthawk R7800 running firmware V1.0.2.62.

 

I've been monitoring my data usage & comparing to my ISP (Comcast).  The usage numbers were very close for the first few days of the year.  On 1/7, the router said 266GB used & Comcast showed 257GB - close enough.

 

On 1/12, Comcast shows 372GB, but the router is now showing 23GB!  It appears the router's counter was reset at the beginning of 1/10 (based on the yesterday/today numbers shown in the router).

 

I have the router configured to restart the counter at 0:01AM on the 1st day of the month.

 

Would a power loss cause this?  Is there a router bug?  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,


Mike
