Please update the Traffic Meter feature for the Nighthawk R7000 to have an increased Monthly Limit that can account into the Tbytes. Comcast as an ISP has began to implement data caps at 1024Mb which...

I see that the issue of the TRAFFIC METER not accomodating at least 2 extra numerical spaces in MB has never been addressed. Please add this to the feature you already have in place in firmware. Either 2 numerical extra spaces in MB or another box that can take input in TB. 

 

I personally think these are essential services for the R8500 as well as the other Netgear routers that include Traffic Meters in their firmware. I don't see them as mere features. This service will become ever more pressing as more ISPs are now offering greater download in allowances in TB & more ISPs will join. Because of this needless limitation in your firmware it will continue to make your Traffic Meters redundant & people will either change over to other 3rd party firmware to solve the problem or buy routers by other manufacturers that don't have this limitation. 

 

Please Netgear address this issue with your R8500 & all other models that use essentially the same firmware & software. It is only an adjunct to what is offered to make use of the function of the Traffic Meter that is already present. Please do this before you become inundated as more & more owners become affected.

 

Thank you.
