For anyone else that may be comparing their HN data usage to their 3rd party router data usage....

Since my data reset at 12:00AM on Feb 5th, I've been running everything through my Netgear router.     Here is the comparison, side by side (click to enlarge)....     HughesNet's total dat...

Resetting in a little over four hours.  Difference, at present, is 1,199MB.

    I think it is a big enough difference though at over 1GB in a month on loss of data the end user can use.  I wack through mine fast so having the extra 1GB would be nice.  ;-)

      I have no doubt that, were I closer to hitting the wall with my data each month, I might be more vocal about a 1GB+ difference.

       

      I've also got to make sure that it's not just my router.  I'm thinking about seeing if my folks' D-Link router has a data counter, and swap mine with theirs if it does, just for the time being.  That way I can see if the discrepancy is just with the Netgear router or if it's with the D-Link, too, and therefore, real.

        That's very interesting, GabeU.  Maybe gremlins are using the network at night.   :)    I think though that you could approach the mods to maybe run diagnostics from their side.  Or they may have heard about this issue before and may know why it happens.
