Not sure why it would be resetting. When looking for data hogs, cloud services are one of the biggest ones especially if you are doing backups or photo storage. Also watch those voice activated devices and remote monitored cameras.

Oh, I know what the data hogs are.  Worst offender is by far a Chromecast stick streamng HD video.  I just want to be able to kep an accurate running total per device until I reset them.  This one had 75Gb on it a couple days ago, then yesterday when I loggeg in it had obviously been reset and was just registering a few hundred Mb. I am the only router admin so no one else is messing with it.  Also, for a wish list item it would also be nice if the FW kept a running sum total.  Another wish item would be for the router to send SMS alert when a device joins the net. Seems that should be simple enough to implement in the FW.

 

 

Those would be nice. I would like for it to ask permission before allowing a new MAC address to connect to the WIFI.

Odd how the totals are resetting,

 

Are the devices changing IP addresses or have you configured address reservation for them so they never change?

They always have the same ip address although I've not reserved any.  I might try that but not sure it will make any difference.
