2865ax memory use at 90% was created by munchin
Hi - Just upgraded from 2862ac to 2865ax. Used 2862 cfg file and imported into 2865ax and it works fine.

But I notice that 2862 ran at 59% memory usage and 2865ax runs at 90% although cpu usage on 2865 is 2%

Early days (just upgraded today) so no evidence of any issues.
Did upgrade to latest reset firmware to clear 2865 totally, then imported 2862 cfg file.

Just at a loss why same cfg which is not that complicated uses 90% memory.

How can I tell what is using the memory.

Thanks for any advice.

What memory does your 2865ax use?

Mine is always at 88-90% with CPU <10%. That's with a pretty basic home use setup - two LANs, one VPN, low throughput. I can't see a way to look at how the memory is used.

Unless we both have misconfigured or malfunctioning devices! It does seeem odd that 90% is used when doing almost nothing - it doesn't leave much headroom, but perhaps memory use doesn't scale with work (i.e. it's already precallocated RAM for everything it could be asked to do).
