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...

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.

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

no, not at all - i'll monitor the stats, thanks for your help.

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...

thanks, will closely monitor... noticed cpu @100% all 4 cores & ram @ 96%, rebooted now cpu @ 0% & ram @ 48%.. these are indeed strange times...

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)?

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

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 -...

thanks @Unisoft, had performed a factory reset but not the hard boot & manual entry as you have done... will give that a crack later...

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...

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...

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

Thanks for your continued work... have just uploaded this latest firmware & noticed on the network map page clients are not listed ie: clients = 0; everything seems to be functioning as it should thou.
