MR600 data usage abnormally high

Model: Archer MR600  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0

Hello

I have a MR600 since a month with a 50GB LTE contract. Last month I reached the 50GB in a week. I found this weird so I turned on the traffic monitor. This month, same thing, 50GB in a week but if I add the usage of each device I reach less than 5GB.

The totally usage of the router shows 124GB since the beginning. It looks like the router is consuming data on its own and as much as 5 to 8 GB per day. How can I stop this?

Hello, please show us the pictures of the total data usage and the traffic monitor settings page. 

 

Meanwhile, please ensure that the firmware is up to date. 

 

And you can change another sim card or hard reset the router to give it a go. 

 

Good day.

Hello Kevin. 

I just saw your answer. The firmware is up to date. I resetted both traffic monitor and total data usage so you just have to believe me on that one. 

How do you hard reset the router?
