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

You might try Voxels 3rd party FW as well.
Good Luck.
