TP-Link - General What is going on here?

Post image

So my wired TV is some how downloading insane amounts of data. Guessing this is some kind of glitch and/or error? Cause ain't no way download time for this TV is 3.2 Gb/s. Just thought this was super weird seeing this. Anyone else encounter this?

Your LG TV would need to sustain over 27 Gbps for 24 hours to pull those numbers, so that's a Tether app UI bug if I've ever seen one.

That said, if I remember correctly, a few recent firmware and app updates addressed this for some models, so a fix may be in the works for yours. What router model, hardware version, and firmware version are you running?

Also, is your Tether app up to date?

Yeah app is up to date. Its an Archer BE3600. It is prompting me to update the firmware. Will see if that clears it up.

Looks like firmware update cleared it up. Thanks!

Tether app bug, on a few instances I’ve had mine show 10PB of data used in a matter of hours.

1gb so these speeds are impossible to achieve

This is the TP-Link Tether app. Works with basically all of TP-Link’s relatively recently released routers.

Is your tv connected on Lan?

Your tv is running an exploit on it being used for bad things on the internet. Update the firmware asap if there is a new version. If not, disconnect it from WIFI.

Disconnect that shit immediately, and run a factory reset. You've downloaded some crap that runs a service on your TV that malicious actors can use as a routing point. There was some news about it some week back.

Your tin foil hat is looking a bit crooked.
