They show how much data you have downloaded/uploaded/total
- so far today
- yesterday
- so far this week
- so far this month
- last month


Along with average values too
All in mega bytes

It is relatively simple, data transferred on a computer network is measured in Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes
Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes
Megabyte = 1024 Kbytes
Gigabyte = 1024 Mbytes
Broadband is an always on connection, so
Your router is measuring the data traffic between it and you Internet Service Provider (ISP) from midnight each day.
From the table, as of 13.09 today you,
Uploaded 48.83 Mbytes of data (sent to the Internet via your ISP)
Downloaded 332.58 Mbytes of data (received from the Internet via your ISP)
Your combined data traffic today, upload plus download = 381.41 Mbytes
The rest of the table is giving you Total/Average

Based on last months figure you average download figure was 290.62 Mbytes perday
Average upload figure was 1,571 Mbytes (1.57 Gbytes) per day
Giving you a combined total 0f 1,862 Mbytes (1.86 Gbytes) per day.

If your ISP was employing data caps of say 30 Gbytes per Month you would be is trouble, as last month your total combined traffic was 55.87 Gbytes

Hope this explains
