Firmware v2.5.1
New version available. Based on the description, doesn’t seem worth the disruption. New Version: V2.5.1.8 Release Notes: [Bug Fix] Fixes JP/AU/CA region can't firmware update issue. [Bug Fix] F...
Curious, are you seeing the same CPU load now with v1.8 loaded? Or is it lower?

The inclusion of "Fing" might have made the difference. In term of performance,Fing is a popular software tool for scanning networks and deducing the manufacturer of the ethernet interfaces. It has (literally) nothing to do with speed. Speed improvements have come somewhere else.
Based on the incremental FW change/description, if performance benefit isn't coming from the inclusion of "Fing", i.e., enhanced devices recognition, where is this "somewhere else" exactly? For references, I don't use DIL, Armor, and Sonos. CPU uage in v2.5.0.40 is extrememly high due to devices scanning and I don't do speed test while trying to rename devices at the same time. Take a look at the picture bellow from a previous post regarding performance degradation/issue with v2.5.0.40.
I posted my two cents about device renaming before finding this ariticle and the new firmware. Applying it today and see what happens. Thanks for the heads up on the forums: it makes life a bit more predictable :smileyvery-happy:
