Traffic Meter on XR500 Only Allows 6 Digits

[sirzepp]

Hey All,

I just signed up with Cablelynx here in Texas and they have a 2 TB datacap.  We also have Disney+ and it can stream at 4K.  I'd rather not implement device-level data limits because we stream from game consoles and updates/games would take a long time to download at 3 Mbps limited rates.  I decided it would work better to initiate a network-wide data cap per month.  However, when I go to enter the required number (was going to set it at 2000000 Mbytes) I can only enter 6 characters, not the required 7 in the traffic meter limit blank.

Is there a way to fix this?

I would contact NG support about this, something they may have not considered. 

You can try this yourself. Just login with eg telnet and issue this one-liner command:
Code:
sed -i "s#^exit 0#sed -i 's/\>999999\)/\>999999999\)/g' /www/traffic.js \&\nexit 0#" /etc/rc.local

If this doesnt' work, you'll need to ask NG to look into this.

Would echo what has been said above, that's a Netgear feature so they will have a better idea of what to do about that.
