I want advice on monitoring the internet data that is incoming to my NightHawk router. I've read a few articles but can seem to find in my setting how to apply the suggestions. Can someone please give me some advice? My internet provider is way over stating the amount of data I am actually using and I need some data points to prove this.
Netgear devices are generally poor at measuring data use.
Manuals are always a good place to start.
Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
Check the section in the manual Monitor Internet Traffic.
Be warned that some users find that this strains the processing power of the router and slow it down.
PS The other answer is link spam (reported).
