Setting up the Bandwidth Monitor
It helps keep track of your network usage. To enable this function, connect to the Web Admin Interface and go to Network > WAN. Check the box Enable next to Bandwidth Allowance Monitor and you can see the following:
Action: If the feature Email Notification is enabled, you will be notified through email when usage hits 75% and 95% of the monthly allowance.
If the box Disconnect when usage hits 100% of monthly allowance is checked, this WAN connection will be disconnected automatically when the usage hits the monthly allowance. It will not resume connection unless this option has been turned off or the usage has been reset when a new billing cycle starts.
Start Day: It allows you to define which day in the month each billing cycle begins.
Monthly Allowance: This field is for defining the maximum bandwidth usage allowed for the WAN connection each month.
