    386.10 - "Your router is running low on free NVRAM"

    Yes I went from 386.5_2 today to 386.10 and there's a big jump. Here it is before the upgrade: And directly after: Running the command you mentioned above does save some space: But it's still significantly increased with no identifiable reason as to why.

    Solved High nvram usage

    The static list is certainly in NVRAM, but I will print the same NVRAM dump as above the next time it happens so we can see.

    Solved High nvram usage

    Yes you're right, thank you. However this case is a little different, and the error is coming from inability for DHCP to allocate and NVRAM is full (when I check). At least, in the case that's been happening more frequently the last couple of months.

    [Discussion] Remove several OpenVPN clients from RT-AC68U to reduce high nvram usage

    As someone who is experiencing daily crashes due to NVRAM running out on RT-AC68U with 386.5_2, I'm fine with limiting OpenVPN and would encourage it (I use 1 OpenVPN server). Stability above all else at this point with this old hardware, imo.

    Solved High nvram usage

    Oh I found the very nice script in here which did help. There was 5 VPN clients in there, which it removed. But probably the DHCP is taking it up.

    Solved High nvram usage

    Thanks for this thread. I continue to have problems with 2x RT-AC68U routers in AiMesh on 386.5_2. I have to reboot them everyday now or they go out of memory with errors like: Results of commands: I noticed in this thread there's a recommendation on killing out old ciphers, so I ran that...

    AiMesh not working anymore on 2 latest Merlin firmwares

    That's what makes this sad. I still need to revert to the same very old firmware version when I need to setup my AiMesh from scratch again on RT-AC68U devices. It's never been fixed.

    RT-AC68U one CPU pinned at 100% due to wred process

    I have 2x RT-AC68U running in a mesh. The main router appears to have CPU1 stuck at 100% usage: When I SSH in and use the top command I can see it's the wred process: This is after only 2 days of uptime (my router auto reboots every 2 days). I am running firmware 386.5_2 and I can't...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    Okay, so basically that's not the issue. I guess it's something else.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    Thanks for the reply. I don't think I use the JFFS for anything in particular, do I still need to back it up? If so, how do I do that? I'm also not sure how it could go beyond 48, I haven't done anything with it. For example, "Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs" is set to "No"

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    What setup? It's literally a vanilla install with most stuff disabled and 1 aimesh node. This has been going on for months but never as bad as 386.7. I mentioned it many times, like here in January: Merlin 386.4 on RT-AC68U no space left with kernel errors every week | SmallNetBuilder Forums...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.7 is now available for all models

    I upgraded my RT-AC68U from 386.5_2 to 386.7 and it's going down every 4-5 hours. The basic errors are: Jun 25 06:07:06 kernel: dhcpc_lease/12170: potentially unexpected fatal signal 11. Jun 25 06:07:06 kernel: Pid: 12170, comm: dhcpc_lease Jun 25 06:07:06 kernel: CPU: 0 Tainted: P...

    Merlin 386.4 on RT-AC68U no space left with kernel errors every week

    Doesn't seem like they solved it. Also seems like there's a bug somewhere.

    Merlin 386.4 on RT-AC68U no space left with kernel errors every week

    Hi, yes that's true it's similar although the error is different so I thought maybe it was a different error. As a note though I stopped running the backup since then, and haven't run it for a long time now so this can't be from that anymore. I was hoping no longer running the backup would...
