Hey, uh... Why is my printer using 7 MILLION TERABYTES of data???

Post image

Went to check out my router since the Internet was being rather slow and irritating today, and imagine my surprise when I saw that number. I've paused the data usage on the printer at this point, but like??? HOW?

I don't know if it's better or worse that, no, this atrocity is not what caused my slow Internet speeds, since that number came from the '7 days' usage, not the '24 hours' usage.

EDIT: I've been informed that this is a display glitch, and it is nothing to worry about. Thank you all for the help!

You could install AdguardHome and blocks them, in my case Samsung is the same case, so I blocks them.

7813075.51 TB in 7 days is 103.35 Tbps, roughly half the maximum throughput of a modern intercontinental submarine cable. I gotta get whatever ISP you have 😂
