Reply To: ASUS – DSL-AC88U / DSL-AC3100 Firmwares (beta's) etc. Looks like a new Beta Release for the DSL-AC88U is available, this version has Telnet enabled and improved 2.4GHz wifi (I believe).

Why then is jetspeed’s router steadily increasing its RAM usage – theirs is a DSL? I’m awaiting the magic 30 days up. If it gets past that I’ll stop checking it all the time!

@jestspeed’s DSL-AC88U  may have different services running like AiProtection etc, so this may account why his increased by 1% per day and yours does not increase as much, also he (I assume) may have more wifi clients etc. or using a slightly different firmware (I forget whom is running what nowadays) and after all, they are beta’s and I read somewhere, one of the recent beta’s excluded French language option, …………

the key is when RAM usage hits 90-95% to see if the OS clears some cache space etc?

On a separate observation, whenever I have tested DSL ASUS units previously, memory usage has always been around 40-60% for Broadcom and slightly lower for MediaTeK DSL routers. I am keen to understand what/why RT based wifi routers seem to use a higher percentage of RAM for normal operation?
