Network Activity - Showing lots, but Saying little...

I couldn't help but notice just now that my Network Activity showed that I was using up close to 100Mbps.  Of course, seeing as my ISP maxes out at 23, I was drawn to inspect.  Upon said inspection, ... well you can see... nothing was showing using the bandwidth.

Oh but then I figured I would try the 3 dots, to see what hides behind :)

And low and behold...'Router'.

Can I get any more information than this?

I did actually pass this on to the team to see if they knew why it was happening and based on the information you provided that you didn't do the things I requested we believe it is a bug so we'll be addressing it

@mindlash Are you sure you’re the only user connected at the time of looking at the network activity. I would advise changing the password and checking again since if someone is on your network without your permission then there using for free etc. I did have one little rat once pass through my network I noticed because i typically check my network I guess the password was a bit easy and they cracked it therefore I changed it to an encrypted password and they haven’t cracked it again.

This goes beyond that — the password for this router is fresh, but what’s concerning is that my upload was showing a faster speed than what my ISP can even handle. That’s what got my. I can only upload at 23MB… but then I saw it was ‘router’ traffic… so I’m guessing it was internal traffic? - just commenting on it to see if it were a bug and/or a feature request to break down internal ‘router’ traffic so we can better examine it.

@mindlashYeah I got the same thing it an UI bug the way it is done is by going back and forth on network activity I found it first something I noticed and it’ll show a spike on the dashboard of high bandwidth but then slowly goes back to normal is yours constant?

How on earth did they crack your password and how did you create one that’s not encrypted??

always use a long password with a mixture of letters and numbers with capitals thrown in. Guessing a password is impossible unless they knew you. Never use an open network, insure you use the appointed security protocol.
