    Can lounge members help explain these modem traffic figures which seem crazy.

    Background.
    My computer was switched off for two days whilst we were away, but I left the modem ASUS RT-N56U running.
    The modem internal traffic monitor log for these two days shows.
    Sat 11jan14, 10 Mb uplink 520b M downlink
    Sun 12jan14, 10 Mb uplink 330b M downlink.

    These numbers seem amazing for a modem doing nothing but keeping the channel alive.
    Can members explain it or suggest tests I could run to check this further.
    Thanks. Graeme.

      That’s your rough up/down bandwidth spec for the time period, NOT actual usage.
