Traffic Analyser - how accurate?

[Simon W]

I think I remember previously hardware acceleration could impact on the accuracy/reliability of this data.

Yet on the AX88U this is no an option to enable/disable hw acceleration but instead decided automatically (eg. mine currently reporting as "Runner: Enabled - Flow Cache: Enabled" as I've disabled QoS for now while I troubleshooting another issue).. so does this mean Traffic Analyser is now fairly accurate regardless?

Thanks.

With my old 68U the traffic analyzer was accurate only when just CTF was enabled. If FA was enabled it would not count all the data. With my 86U and both Runner and Flow Cache enabled I am pretty sure it is counting all my data as the total value it recorded for February was 5,675.89 GB.

Are we saying the same is true for the QoS - WAN/LAN Bandwidth Monitor (regardless as to whether or not QoS is enabled)?

I'm not sure what your question is. The Mbps values on those dials are certainly accurate when I run a speedtest.
