I installed bwmon on a ddwrt router and bwmon doesn't seem to be recording or showing data usage correctly? bwmon also doesn't seem to be showing all active clients either?

Hardware:  TP-Link Archer C9 v1 (hardware 1). 
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r44715 std (11/03/20)
Installed using:  https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/TP_Link_Archer_C9#How_to_install_DD-WRT
bwmon - installed about May 1.
Probably running version 3.2.2 (but not sure and not sure how to check). It was the most recent version and I followed the github directions. https://github.com/vortex-5/ddwrt-bwmon

When looking at 192.168.0.1/user/bwmon.html, the total data usage is 5 GB when we've used about 600GB for the month and since I've installed bwmon. What might I have wrong w/ my setup?
Another issue is that the wifi connected laptop I'm currently on isn't showing on the bwmon list, while I can see it in the
active clients in ddwrt (AppaAcer).

Other:
Per the bwmon installation page https://github.com/vortex-5/ddwrt-bwmon it says you could optionally enable lighttpd support from Services -> Webserver -> Lighttpd Server. However, I cannot find any webserver enabling functions in ddwrt. Here's a screen shot of Services:

Thanks - Mark

Build 44715 is old and outdated current build is 51043

One of the reasons Data usage can be off is when Acceleration is used (Basic Setup Page, Short Cut forwarding) as this bypasses the firewall.
