    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    I'm really shocked - or maybe not - that there is no action with this what so ever. It's almost like the developer of the Merlin firmware is ignoring this is a problem, or he is too scared to fork his firmware off of the official Asus firmware in fear that it may actually fix stuff Asus can't...

    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    So I really do think it's directly tied with mass data use. I have jobs that go out and download raw weather data every 30 minutes from the National Weather Service NOMADs servers. 4 times per day these jobs get large chunks of data - 22-26 GB. Over an average day I'm downloading about 100 GB of...

    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    And here is a clean view right after resetting it via smartplug. Things of note - 125 MBs free RAM right after reboot (was only 20.5 MB free when it hung) Load index 0.16 (was 6.31 when it froze) Mem: 130020K used, 125416K free, 1700K shrd, 1820K buff, 18796K cached CPU: 0.7% usr 0.9%...

    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    So what can I do to help? It's doing it again right now. 125% CPU use on Core 1, 105% on core 2. Using 235 / 256 MB of RAM. It's on the latest firmware. What logs / what can I provide? I'm very intimate with Linux - just ask what you need and I can do it. Here is top output via SSH: MEM...

    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    So it's interesting you mention that. According to the NetSNMP I have that I run - there are some issues that could cause a lockup that occur. First, the memory use gradually increases - almost like there is a memory leak. When you first reboot the router, it uses about 125/256 MB of RAM. But...

    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    Because that's when I woke up, noticed the event had happened at around 12:30 AM, and used the SmartPlug to reboot the router via SSH to Raspberry Pi on the Fiber Box wifi network.

    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    Ok so here's the syslog. What's interesting is it does show that error - but at the same time, it appears the router has some weird reboot that happens right before it shows that error where the time and date are off by alot. Unless that's when I forced the reboot.

    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    So here's the exact symptoms: Always the 29/30th day of the month. Note my average monthly data use is 2.8-3.2 TB so this may be right as it hits 3 TB / 3000 GB. Not sure if that's a correlation. - Google Fiber box WiFi network is NOT impacted, there is no loss of Internet connectivity between...

    Asus AC3200 w/ Merlin 384.13 High CPU / Memory leak?

    Not sure if this is a known issue but for a long time now (probably a year) the Merlin firmwares have had issues on the AC3200 where it drops the DHCP about the 29th or 30th day of the month, every month. The only way to bring the network back up is to reboot the router - it's not even...

    LAN failures

    SO it turns out it was not a router level issue at all. I did some in depth testing via SSH as it just happened literally 5 minutes ago... I was able to ping other LAN devices. I was not able to ping the desktop. Restarting the Networking service on ubuntu did not fix the problem, but...

    LAN failures

    All the "always-on" equipment - PC, router, Fiber box, and Google box - are on UPS battery backup. Old router / cable modem was too. (Fiber box has a slighty higher load draw than the Cable modem did but well within capacity / less than 20% load on the UPS even with PC + Router + Fiber Box +...

    LAN failures

    I posted a thread on this topic earlier and it went away, but now it's back. Every few days - about once per week, my router drops the entire LAN portion of the network. I had this problem on multiple routers - Netgear WNR2000v3, Netgear AC2700 series, and now the Asus AC3200. I had this on...

    Graphing library

    Does anyone know what graphing library the "Traffic Monitor" uses? I'm currently using pChart to graph database information like system performance, etc... I'm blown away by the Traffic Monitor's sleekness. I am presuming it implements RRD tool, but not sure how much it relies on it - if I can...

    Mystery LAN failures

    Yeah so not a single reset since I went live on Google Fiber 1000 Saturday afternoon. W00T!
