I think I'll trust the BB usage monitor

The received bytes from my router stats shows -440833261 over the past 23 days, but over the same period, the monitor says 9.93Gb .

Routers do have some odd problems with maths, don't they.

Maybe I could show support, and they could pay me.

Someone has clearly hacked your router and is dragging the bits and bytes kicking and screaming back onto the internet. It's internet terrorism, I say! We need more nuclear weapons and tighter civil liberties to stop this kind of atrocity!

I'm going back to my hole now.

Your router is 32bit and the software on it apparently doesn't use various bits of floating point magic to cope with 64 bit numbers.  As a result, the maths screws up and returns a 32bit signed integer (hence the minus sign at the start).  I'd hope there would be a firmware update from the router manufacturer to fix it   You should see it mess up at 4GB (4294967296 bytes, the max unsigned value a 32 bit int can store) so an ugly workaround would be to check the router every few days and reset the counter (might need a reboot/reconnect) when it's close to 4GB.
