Upload Speed Not Displaying - FW Blue

Hello. everyone. Likely simple, but for some reason with the Firewalla Blue in DHCP mode, I am not seeing upload speeds, only download. Is there a reason that this would happen? I have other Firewalla's deployed and I have never come across this issue. 

 

Please advise if there might be something stupid I am overlooking.

  live throughput on the Blue+ (and also Gold/Purple in Simple or DHCP mode) can only record aggregated bandwidth. (one armed router ... can't distinguish in and out packets well)

  hm, does this affect "only the display"? or also the function of the firewall itself? Because the box should be able to distinguish between what goes in and what goes out, no? Otherwise, you have to ask yourself how useful "one-armed routers" are in general?

  The live throughputs are from the interfaces themselves; so if you follow the traffic, it will always do a full loop through the same interface. (A in and a out for any egress traffic, and also a in and a out for any ingress traffic)
