Oh wow! completely overlooked updating opkg (!) that worked! :)) Just trying to decipher the output from lsof and see what I can make out of it - unfortunately the CPU usage spikes are somewhat random and not fully sure what I should be looking out for with lsof Really appreciate the kind...

Thanks heaps for the help and thoughts! Below is the output of what the partition layout is - does that look right to you? admin@RT-AC88U:/tmp/home/root# cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00080000 00020000 "boot" mtd1: 00180000 00020000 "nvram" mtd2: 03e00000 00020000 "linux"...

ah, right - that’s true. I’m not sure if it’s some combination of using diversion/ab-solution and skynet or just my particular setup I’m wondering if it’s a USB drive issue as research about mtdblock3 seems to loosely indicate it’s writing to the partition excessively as the cause of the cpu...

I don’t for sure.. trying to install and use lsof results in the install command returning a package size mismatch from the default entware site ( see below) however it’s more than just being ‘sensative’ to high CPU usage. When the high cpu usage occurs it takes both dual cores to 100% and...

Unfortunately disabling AI Cloud via the GUI doesn’t terminate the same process responsible for the high CPU usage tracked down by the previous user as responsible - AI Cloud and all of its features were already turned off to begin with. I assumed it required “lighttpd-monitor" to be...

I'm having the same issue after tracking down the process that is causing the CPU to spike - kinda still new to linux so could you share what commands you used to shutdown "lighttpd-monitor" and/or AIcloud? Thanks in advance!

Thanks heaps everyone for the expert and kind replies (especially RMerlin himself!) - really appreciate it all considering the circumstances that left even me baffled beyond belief. Hopefully this is a good guide for others in the situation of needing to truely wipe and reset things.

Whats the best way to truely wipe everything? Is there anyway to save AsusWRT-Merlin settings? And preferably those of Diversion and Skynet?

Sorry the firmware version got cut off when I copied and pasted before - below is the correct info (minus redundant info I've deleted for conciseness) Firmware Version Signature version 2.158 Updated : 2019/12/27 02:00 RT-AC88U Current Version : 384.14_2 SSH is definitely ONLY enabled for LAN...

Thanks! I've definitely tried the first option of rebooting/removing the drive. Will reformatting the JFFS partition wipe the configuration settings for Diversion and Skynet? Many thanks RMerlin for the input - is there anyway for me to categorically confirm that I'm on your offical firmware...

Thats my concern - it came retail but via an online store - I don't recall anything being out of the ordinary (it was more than a year ago) but the very first thing I did was replace the firmware with Merlin as I was coming from an older router where I had been using the same firmware. So I...

The first time I installed AsusWRT-Merlin it was from https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/download I've had the router for more than a year and its been updating as normal - and even checking now the WebUI update page references "https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/download" in order to do a manual...

Hi, I realise this has been referenced on another post (https://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt-n66u-koolshare.56351/) but I'm having this issue suddenly pop up after using the offical AsusWRT-Merlin firmware without ever having used "Koolshare" When I login via SSH as per normal the router...
