I am working w/ WNDR3700, and I've been trying to take a look at the traffic meter to judge how much I actually us.

In 7 days I supposedly already used 30gig. There are only two computers to the network and the most we do is Pandora/gaming. Is this router incorrectly reading incoming/outgoing data? Is there someone logging into my router and downloading freaking porn or something? Because whenever I check to see connected devices, I only see our comps, are they able to hide their device on the router?

This month
153:58 Upload/Avg=2,562/366.03 Download/Avg=30,228/4,318 Total/Avg=32,790/4,684

The most I do on the web is schoolwork/pandora and play league of legends or counter strike.
 
Streaming Pandora could do it.

Try not streaming it for a day or two and see what you use.
 
i would bet you are the one using the bandwidth without even realizing it. traffic is not very hard to measure, so i would be suprised if the router was getting it wrong. 130-ish Gb per month isnt too bad.

Is there a more reliable way I can test MY DL/UP traffic and I can just install it on both computers to get a correct average? It's not that important, just thought I'd ask. Just insane believing I'd use about 130gigs a month just for games and pandora lol. Now if I was a p2p freak I'm sure I'd hit that easily and over.

Reason I want to find out is my ISP has a 250gig max. So I wanted to be able to track so I can look at my average and insure I never go over that.
