Tags: #IPv6
Model: Archer BE800  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.6 Build 20240808 rel.26673

The bandwidth meter (Upload and Download) on the BE800 (And probably other routers) counts only IPv4 traffic. With IPv6 being more and more commonly used, it should be included.

 

In fact, the bandwidth measurement should be done at Layer 2 on an ethernet frame level.
