C7000 Tracking Data Usage

I too recently experienced an INSANE amount of data usage and actually went over my month 1000GB this past month. First time this has ever happened. I am pretty savvy when it comes to tech, network, device config so I immediately started investigating. Aside from all the DoS, Teardrop, SynFlood logs (whole other issue :smileymad:), I started monitoring my network traffic via a tool for Mac called PeakHour 4. I installed this tool January 31st. What I have discovered over the first four days of February is shocking to say the least. Some might even say it would be worthy of a lawsuit against Netgear. I found that within these first for days of my new data cycle, I had already used right at 200GB of data. Tonight I have discovered the culprit. First I blocked every single device from my network with the exception of the laptop I am on right now. I also unplugged every hardwired device from the modem. With PeakHour 4 open on this laptop, I was still seeing a spike in data download on a regular interval. Continuing through the Advanced settings of the router, looking for any clues, I disabled all of the ReadyShare features under USB Storage > Advanced Settings. To my surprise, the data usage on my network immediately dropped to nearly nothing. Wow, I thought. Lets see if this was really it or coincidence. I unblocked all of my wireless devices AND plugged back in my hardwired devices. With 3 wired and 10 wireless devices currently connected to the modem, I am consistently using less than 10MB per 15min interval over the last 45min.

I hope this helps any of you that are experiencing the same issue with ridiculous, unexplained data usage. I am glad I was able to catch this before going over my Xfinity data again this month.
