Model: Archer BE9700  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.7 Build 20251027 rel.50074(5553)

When using the tether app. it is reporting excessive use. As in 10tb yesterday alone.

 

According to it my ring doorbell which has a 2.4ghz connection uploaded 9.8Tb yesterday.  its not mathematically possible for a 2.4 ghz connection to move that much data in 24hrs.

I see for other TP link routers there is a firmware fix for this issue.

Is there a fix for this router?

I have noticed this happening for over a week. Sometimes it still says Items I removed from the network (disconnected from power) that it reports as using data.

It is frustrating to say the least.
I like the router otherwise. 
Except for the fact I cant track my data usage.

Hello @Tommy72 ,

Welcome to our community.

 

Yes, this anomaly can be corrected in the beta firmware. See What Can I Do If Traffic Usage Data Is Unusually High?

  @Joseph-TP , I can also report a similar issue with the Archer BE900 v2.0 router as well.  Anything newer than the last 1.3.1 firmware that may address this?
