wow 77-78% hmmm bit high no? wondering if should get the AX86U now and modem instead….. doesn’t seem much room left in ram… Kev
ASUS do run high in regards to Memory usage and it does have the Modem also. I would be worried at 90% for an ASUS, especailly if using a VPN ? but 80% is Ok,
As we have said before, early days in term of Firmware maturity ?

April 25, 2021 at 10:28 am #12970Once I enabled Traffic Analyzer and QoS the RAM usage went up. It was the same with my old DSL-AC68U.

Mine has 55% with 5 devices connected 4 WiFi + Lan PC, today after 6 hours only 4 MB increase, just make sure to deactivate unnecessary servers like FTP or SAMBA if you don’t really need it, by the way I deactivated AiProtection as well because I rely only on Kaspersky Internet security, so “kev2021” don’t worry about RAM

April 27, 2021 at 6:31 am #12994Good to see there are different locations to buy a DSL-AX82U in Europe, as i said at the start, the DSL-AX82U is more aimed at the European markets, and availability only in Europe is proving this

April 28, 2021 at 11:01 pm #13001My modem arrived today and I started using it, but I don’t like the high RAM usage. 512 MB of RAM is not enough :(

I agree,, that is using to much RAM
what version firmware are you using ? are you using AiProtection, AiMesh or a VPN ?In a completely sane world, madness is the only freedom (J.G.Ballard).

April 29, 2021 at 6:04 am #13006only AiProtection is active Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.386_42438 (3.0.0.4.386_42438-g045583a)
When you have time, could you disable AiProtection and re-boot rooter, just to see if AiProtection is causing problem, After re-boot, leave router with AiProtection Off for 1 hour, then if memory usage is lower 70-80% then we know AiProtection is problem and I can inform ASUS

After test, re-enable AiProtection if you wish and did the RAM usage increase over time ?

April 29, 2021 at 11:10 am #13008Received this item last week and generally very very happy with it .Unit is on latest FW (20/4/2021) but i am now having to reset router AGAIN.This will be 5th time i will have to reset the unit
Issue i am having is – I am creating a unique username and password as the norm – Ai protection showing up as Green
But if i do not log back into the unit for say 2 or 3 days – it totally forgets the sign in details….
Also the captcha doesnt seem to be working either ??
Also in Ai Protection – even though i turn off UpNp it only shows up as orange / yellow (Not Green)
Or is there another menu i have to go to – to change aswell ??

April 29, 2021 at 11:52 am #13009Please ignore the above post from me – Seems to be issues with my dsl line
But the Ai Pro is still showing Orange/Yeloow when surely it should be Green when certain items are showing that they are off

No problem, I will ask ASUS regarding the UPnP and AiProtction showing Yellow and get them to add it to there debug list.
BTW – what is you DSL-AX82U RAM /Memory usage with AiProtection enabled ?
