    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    ok, tried this, cpu mostly 98%+ idle... however ran a video file from my smb HDD & witnessed ram usage climb from 54% to 97% in minutes, cpu had fleeting spikes to 10-15%... couldn't spot the command causing spikes but it seemed to coincide with rising ram cache & this smb command... 13517...

    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    no, running a fairly vanilla install - no QOS, AI, DDNS, VPN, port forward etc... do have a few static ip's & smb share for usb HDD, plus skynet now running on merlin fw (thou ram usage was 97% on asus fw w/o skynet). best guess is the smb share is gobbling all the cache.

    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    ha, think i've found the culprit... rightly or wrongly the cache is being loaded up with roughly half the total ram after a period (as mentioned by @thecheapseats above)... Running @ 88% used after 22hrs Running @ 50% used post reboot

    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    hmm, thanks @L&LD, i followed your setup & the router was behaving as expected - ram steady at 48%, cpu spiking to 50% but normally 0-5%... however got up this morning & found ram back at 97% with nothing else changed... rebooted & ram settles back to 48%... any thoughts what could be causing...

    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    thanks @L&LD, i'll have a look at your set-up... thou even with asus f/w ram usage was 95%+ - could it be the router (ax86u)?

    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    btw, is it usual for router to run at 95%+ ram usage (ax86u)?

    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    ax86u - got beta2 to take 2nd attempt - as before, did a factory reset & installed beta2 - no hard reboot required... had to fiddle with smb settings to get apps working thou as follows: kodi - set simpler share naming to yes (this caused a conflict with win10 mapping resolved as below) win10 -...

    Asus RT-AC-88U Merlin 361.1 beta 2 big problem

    ax86u - still having same problems as with beta1... takes an age to establish a wan connection but once done nothing connects as if the connection speed is being throttled to death. can't run a speedtest as connection with anything is impossible. back to stock & everything functioning as before...

    AX86U - 2 issues, bandwidth monitor, chromecast

    just tried beta 1, uploaded fine but couldn't establish an internet connection, despite network map saying it was connected... recycled fibre ont & router buy no joy... it may be possible the connection was slower than compuserve days & so timed out... edit: back to asus firmware & all good...

    [DSL-AC68U] AsusWrt Merlin builds for DSL routers

    afraid on mine it remains at zero... anyway, doesn't seem to effect the router service so likely just a cosmetic bug. thx.
