can't access Traffic meter

Hello
 the first post asking "if" it is possible to update my firmware version which is V1.02.68_60.0.93NA
 It would be nice to have the traffic tracking ability.
I hit the search for new update button and it shows it is current.
this router I have had about 2 years and this is the firmware it was updated to on the instal day.

 I hope there might be something newer that might have the traffic option?
I am unable to find this on my router genie pages.

  •  the way to find it is:
    go to advanced page
    then to Advanced setup to find the traffic meter.

     the manual is not complete.
    you have to open everything until you find what your looking for.
    the meter is not very helpful, but its there.

     

     for several years my first router choice and recommendation has been netgear -

     it seems the best solution is to buy a router from a company that has continued support with firmware updates.

    Welcome to the community, phree0

     

    As of this writing, the latest firmware for your WNR1000v3 is version 1.0.2.68.

    Traffic meter is located on page 89 of the manual.

      thank you

       I will need to get the manual as I have this version installed 1.0.2.68_60.0.93NA
      shucks I was hoping there was a newer version, Maybe even support? lol

       guess it is time to buy a different router that has a better history for ongoing support.

        Unfortunately, there will be no other firmware to be released unless it is a security vulnerability issue.

        What do you mean by unable to access Traffic Meter in your initial post?
