    AC88U CPU Load Maxed Out

    Looks like this is rearing it's ugly head again... just had a CPU spike on an AC88U running 386.12. Was not able to get to SSH and 'top' quick enough before the spike disappeared. I'm in now and all seems normal. I'm running multiple devices on 2.4 and 5G and earlier today, my 5G dropped to...

    Has my VPN been compromised? "ovpn-server: Connection reset, restarting [-1]"

    I have a AC88U running an OPVN server for when I am away. Sometimes I forget to turn this off when I am home and early this morning starting at 4:30 EST, I got a hit from an IP located in Ukraine or Russia. What I cannot see is if they successfully connected or if they were just trying to...

    160mhz on AC3100 or AC86U?
