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 more detail by device available? Do you think that this is inclusive of LAN traffic?

 

Firmware Version - V1.01.15

    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

      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
