I was using Broadband usage meter. Recently I re-installed the operating system and now it won't work correctly. When installing Broadband I get a range check error and I'm asked to select the approriate connection. The only option is  "Avast firewall NDIS filter miniport" with the "OK" button grayed out. The app can install but it doesn't work. Previously I was only using Avast Antivirus, but now I'm using Avast Internet Security. So how can I make Broadband work with it?

Go to the firewall settings and allow BB Usage Meter to communicate across the firewall.
