Network interface counters not updating

Installing and Using OpenWrt

I am running 24.10.2 on Netgear WAX206 access points (platform mediatek/mt7622).

It has 4 LAN ports and 1 WAN port. I would like to monitor bandwidth usage on these interfaces, and have tried SNMP, bmon, ifconfig and looking in /proc/net/dev.

All methods show that lan1 to lan4 have non-zero byte counts that never then update, although I know that those interfaces are passing traffic.

eth0 and wan are incrementing as expected.

Should lan1 and lan4 also be showing bytes received and sent? Is there a configuration issue?

Thanks all!

What about counts on br-lan?

Yes, counts on br-lan are incrementing.

I think you'll have to disable software/hardware offload or check via another way like mentioned in this report ?!!?
