RAM usage AC86U

[D_Day]

Does anyone know the average usage of RAM for the AC86U?
I’ve had the AC68U and was running about 150mb most of the time but the AC86U is running at 425mb with the same apps running.
I just want to know if something is wrong or everything is fine.

Normal. It reports cached memory as used so make sit hard to track actual free RAM.
Take a look at the Tools>Sys Info page for a better breakdown of usage.

Absolutely normal for the AC86U. Mine routinely run from 375 to 425+ all the time.

I installed mine today and it surprised me how much RAM was being used compared to the AC68U.

Mine is running around 70% or around 360mb. Merlin 384.8.2. No problems here

Mine is running at 86%, I’m running a bit of stuff but nothing huge.

It’s not really ‘using’ it. Just the reporting is different.
You can count cached RAM as free, look at the Sys Info page I mentioned and minus the cached value off and you’ll find it’s likely using under 200Mb.

It leaves me on about 257Mb, I’m happy with that
