Try to enter the amount from Gargoyle into the GiB field:

Router: TL-WR1043ND - Gargoyle 1.5.4
AP: TL-WR1043ND - Gargoyle 1.5.4

The ADSL modem is including ATM overhead which the Gargoyle bandwidth display does not. This subject is rather complex but you can read some details at

If you enable QoS the bandwidth displayed on those screen does include ATM overhead and should match much closer to your modem.
