I have an Asus RT-AC5300 with Merlin 380.66 firmware. I notice when my PC is downloading at full speed, only Core 1 gets to 100% use. Core 2 only has about 1 to 2 % use....is this normal ?
Only one core in use RT-AC5300

Why is it normal for only one core to be in use ? What is the second core used for ?
For other processes. The kernel drivers aren't multithreaded, so they run on only core.
Samba, OpenVPN and other services are able to take advantage of the second core.
