CAX30 Router Traffic Meter Checkboxes Not Staying Checked

I own a CAX30 Nighthawk. Currently on the most recent version, v1.4.10.10
Every time I want to enable Traffic Meter (I've had to have it disabled for the past 6 months because this is still happening) I set the monthly limit correctly and when I reach the "When the monthly limit is reached" section of checkboxes, I want to disable both "Turn the Internet LED to flashing white/amber" and "Disconnect and disable the internet connection", so I uncheck both. I'll press Apply, and they recheck themselves. I've tried different browsers, different computers, on mobile. They will not stay unchecked. Every other setting will save; traffic volume control direction, monthly limit, restart counter, and pop-up warning. The worst part is that the internet disconnects and shows an amber light when the meter hasn't even reached the cap.

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch.

      Yeah, I just did a complete, from-scratch, reset of the modem router, as you've outlined. I tried to enable the setting again, and it's still doing it. In addition, I updated the firmware as well.

        Does this also happen in a different browser and or a different PC as well?
