Traffic Meter Units Displayed & By Device?
TWC is saying that I have used 693+ GB this month (9/1 to 9/20) compaired to 308 for the previous month. How the heck do I convert the data reported in the traffic meter and is there a report with mo...

Moving forward .......your usage function is not setup so you should set it up.
The numbers shown on the screenshot you posted, to me seem to be WRONG! Maybe because usage was not setup I don't know.
reset the counter, enter the settings and watch it for a few days OR better yet push reset until power LED flashes use defaults to login reset the counter again.
if I used 250GB MY router would display 256000MB
so it would seem something on your end most likely never setting up the usage is why the numbers look ridiculously large
According to today you already used 34GB

Lan usage is NOT couted toward monthly usage
I've found the usage meter to be spot on with Comcast

That's a great help. However, where did you get the 709632?

from you........ you stated you used 693GB according to TWC
Try setting the usage option up, enter your ISP limit click up & down usage then your totals should change to a realistic number
example 250GB = 256000MB
300GB =307200MB

Okay, guess I am still confused. I thought the numbers displayed on the report for that same time period were the accurate numbers. I didn't know how the billions noted converted to GB.
