Nighthawk R7000 Traffic Meter Monthly Limit Increase

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 equates to 1048576Mbytes but the Monthly Limit field only allows me to enter 104857Mbytes, missing the last digit which is significantly less than the data cap. Given that Comcast is monitoring the traffic it should be available to impose limits and monitor traffic independent of Comcast. It is very important this feature be added.

Currently running V1.0.7.10_1.2.3 firmware.

This was mentioned in the forums and it was suggested that this be submitted at this location in that post. See below;

Original Post

"This in regards to the Traffic Meter monitoring function of the SRX5308 VPN Firewall.  However this would apply to any device in Netgear's product lineup that monitors the amount of IP traffic per month.

Currently the traffic meter can set a monthly traffic limit of up to a maximum of 256000 MB (~250 GB).  However, this is insufficient for those who are using Comcast as an ISP where the limit is set to 1 Terabyte (1024 Gb).   

Request that the montly traffic limit setting be adjustable in the Terabyte range."
