ASUS ZenWiFi AX Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System Not sure if this is the right place to ask…. I am thinking of upgrading my Google Mesh wifi to the above. Has anyone used this and does it...

Interesting and potentially good news, was you tinkering with the router at any point or just before and then logged back in at a later time and notice the free RAM  increase ?

I don’t recall doing anything at all

Great news, hopefully just the shock of seeing lower free RAM value has spooked you, and all working as it should be from a RAM (cache – buffers – kernel) perspective

I will keep monitoring and see what happens.  Hopefully it isn’t like the AC88U.

Others are saying their XT8 has locked up needing reboot, but not sure if related.

This was the error in their log.

/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60s)

If you could that would be helpful

‘/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60s)‘ is more interesting, I assume you do not receive this particular log message also as you have sufficient free RAM ?

I cannot see this message in my logs.

Good news then – hopefully next few days will tell us if your XT8 is having RAM stability issues etc.

Has your free RAM continued to reduce below 90-91MB or did it recover?

Just 5 minutes ago it locked up with the error out of memory (1560).  I knew Asus would mess up with so many changes in one update.

I sent feedback to Asus few minutes before it locked up.

Did you notice the free RAM at the time ?

It was around 83 MB free.  I think ASUS should pull this firmware version.

Remind me, is this the latest stock release, and if so I can have a chat with ASUS

Ok, I will get them to pull this release unless they advise me otherwise ;)

Hi all! I am the one with the freeze problems on my 4 XT8s aimesh system… two freezes about 4/5 days after rebooting… I reverted to old “386” version.

 

Last freeze I have several (abou ten) of this errors in the log (that are the last entries before the freeze) :

Oct 16 17:31:48 dnsmasq-dhcp[27814]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60s)

I have another xt8 aimesh system (made of 1 router + 1 node and many less wifi clients) and until now no freezes (free ram is now about 84/85mb… in other installation it was 74/75 last time I controlled before the freeze)
