I'm not in any way someone who understands the code or linux commands, but I can copypasta
(mmmm, pasta...:D)
Ideally I'd like to get more smart about these things so I can run a hyperboria node (which requires cjdns) and join a meshnet.
for now, ab-solution w/pixelserv seem to be working brilliantly, but I'm not sure that the entware swap file (?) is configured correctly; I don't recall selecting the swap file size detailed in https://www.hqt.ro/how-to-install-new-generation-entware/ when I followed the directions at http://www.ab-solution.info/how-to/
 
Tools/Sysinfo, Swap usage.
If it shows 0.00/0.00 then swap is not enabled/initialized/installed.

The hqt.ro setup guide enables swap, if you select it during install.
The swap file is located in the root of the device where Entware is installed. If you find it, check /jffs/scripts/post-mount content, this is where the file gets mounted.
 
jffs...that would explain the RAM usage jump to ~70% after engaging the swap file; n66u doesn't have much to begin with...LAN is much faster without it.
I may have to start over...
Thank you.
