I noticed on the System status page that there were wireless packets received and transmitted even though I have never connected via wireless. The only wireless ccapable device I own is this computer.
I disabled the wireless services on the modem and the wireless traffic continues. What is going on?
Traffic totals for 1 day of usage.
For Broadband:
Data packets received - 296541
Data packiet transmitted - 82937
For Wireless
Data packets received - 963447
Data packiet transmitted - 1284549

Really it's more or less a WebGUI error... Where it says "Wifi Info" it should really be "LAN Info". If you take a look at the HT1100 on the latest software, the page looks the exact same, except for the name of the box. Chances are it was named Wifi because the HT2000w is a wifi capable unit.
I bet if you download a large chunk of data on wired connections, the packet count skyrockets, and when you sit idle it barely moves.
After poking around a bit on my units, I can confirm, it's a naming error, and nothing more.
