image link - bytes — Postimages

this is the gx router - user info page. All devices are connected with wifi only.

I am not able to understand why its showing so much bytes of both send/receive. I am not uploading anything at all. May be few Mb of whatsapp backup and few Mb of data required for requesting any info. Mostly its download.

I have tried restarting router. Wifi pass is not easy to guess, no third party devices connected.

This device has weird interface with weirder English. It has so many abandoned and error packets as well.

So if someone can explain this interface.
 
There are two sides send and receive. The information is in byte, so receive side is around 242 MB under 2.4 Ghz wifi information table. The receive is what the router is receiving from devices that are connected.

Package is probably referring to packets transmitted. Error and abandon can be due to multiple issues, one of which can be network congestion.
 
like I have mentioned in main post I am confused why so much upload when nothing is getting uploaded.

is this much upload normal for devices just requesting for download info? And could it be because of so much error packets, bytes upload data is inflated?

The router doesn't allow me to see real time upload, download info or per device basis.

If anyone else has this router pls share this data page info and if you think yours upload also looks inflated. :)
 
The router isn't inflating numbers, it's just updating what is passing through it and what isn't. Your devices are requesting or sending something for your upload numbers to be that much and it isn't that high tbh. If you want to see real-time or per device info or even per app info, then get a router that does and add it between your router and devices.
 
With the pic i have mentioned my doubts and why i have them. Not literally asking explanation for send/receive upload download or how to convert bytes to Mb Gb.

If I didn't thought the numbers don't look right I won't ask here.

The receive bytes could also include data from devices attempting to connect without pass, random network scans. Thus showing a "inflated" real number although technically correct.

Even when no devices are connected to a band it shows abandoned and error packets received but no bytes. So i guess bytes are real upload only from connected devices.

This router glitches a lot. For diagnosis I removed all devices except one to check router and it shows 0 devices connected, when I can access both internet and logged in to router page. A lot of other issues also happens with its interface.
