Re: How about an estimate of our past usage AT&T? Install a software meter on your PC. Just google. Or if you have a router, like Linksys WRT54G you can try to flash it with DD-WRT (at your own risk) which includes bandwidth meter for speed and usage. |

| As long as he uses large screen monitor with PC to watch Netflix, play video games and thats only one computer then he is fine. But very likely he has internet enabled blue-ray at least. |

| I have internet enabled TV and stream Netflix occasionally. If the usage meter on my Netgear wireless router was working I guess I could use that to estimate, however, that's only for the wireless devices. Too bad the meter is not working. |

I checked the meter on my Netgear for the first time yesterday, it was grayed out. Ran a firmware update, was then able to select it. |

| Yea, I've been working with Netgear on it. They said it was a firmware issue but failed to provide a firmware that worked. I have the WNDR3400 model. |

I have that model and it does have a working bandwidth meter. Just have the router update the firmware automatically. |

I have the WNR3500 model. Does yours have a "Maintenance" category in the settings, with a "Router Upgrade" sub-category under it? That's where I updated mine. |

| I've tried enabling the usage meter but it just doesn't track usage. I've noticed it won't keep the correct time either. I'm running the latest firmware as far as I can tell from Netgear's site. |

As far as the time thing, right above MAINTANCE it says E-MAIL click that. Then go to the bottom and change the time zone. Then click APPLY. It'll take a minute but after that it should have the right time and your traffic meter should be working. Anytime the time goes out of whack just do what I psoted. |

| will try that tonight.
thanks. |

Just tried your suggestion. Didn't work. Reports the date is
Current Time: Wednesday, 01 Jan 2003 00:00:07 and when I refresh it reports the same date but the time has advanced slightly. It did default back to Pacific time however. I need Central time. At one time I found something thru Google that said it could not reach a time server. |
