How to get usage statistics on RT-AC66U?

[metaprogressor]

Hi,

I use Merlin build 3.0.0.4.270.26 and found that "Traffic Manager - Traffic Monitor" section, but all I see there is statistics for the last date of use no matter what I chose in showing option - daily or monthly. The question is - does the router reset statistics after every reboot (I reboot router every day)? If not then why I cannot access the statistics for any previous day other than today?

Is there any other way to fetch statistics data from router (console commands, tools, utilities)?

Is there any other way at all to get usage statistics other than through router log?

Thanks!

You need to configure a storage location for your stats, because by default it will be in RAM.

Plug a USB disk to your router. Go to the Tools -> Other Settings page. Tell it to store settings to disk, and point the location at your USB disk. Check the option telling it to create/reset the datafile, then apply.
