On Thursday you used a fraction of the amount you used on Wednesday, the units are different. On Weds you used 100+MB whereas on Thurs you used 100+KB.
1000KB = 1MB so you can see that it was a very small amount and perfectly normal for background traffic to your router.

Quote so its just normal traffic going through the router?
Consider it your router saying "HELLO! I'm still here!"
Just because your being neglectful to your internet connection and not using it 24/7
<1MB per day is about right for "background" traffic
