Enabling the Traffic Meter

types over a period of time, you can activate the Traffic Meter for one or both WAN ports.
To monitor traffic limits on each of the WAN ports:
1. Select Monitoring > Traffic Meter from the main menu, and then the WAN1 Traffic Meter tab.
The WAN1 Traffic Meter screen will display.
