I'm on latest merlin 386.7_2 on my RT-AX86S (so only with 500MB ram).
I usually configure a good quality USB 3.x thumb drive with a swap file (and then install Entware to enable some scripts/addons).
One month ago I did a clean reset of my router/network and manually configured it. I did not add a USB so currently have no swap or entware.
My setup has been rock solid with no random restarts without the USB so i'm thinking that either the USB, swap, entware, nextDNS CLI script 'might' have been causing the instability (random restarts).
So - if I can live without Entware being installed and without heavy apps/services such as skynet/diversion, is there any point/benefit having a swap file?
Appreciate any view or thoughts from the community... Thanks.
