RBR50 with 7 Sats High CPU utilization
Hello, I have 5 Sats currently connected to RBR50 ethernet backhaul and 2 sats connected as wireless backhaul with the latest firmware 2.5.1.32. I noticed that RBR50 CPU runs between 80% to 90% wit...
Now RBR50 CPU runs from 6% to 30% with FW V2.3.5.30 with 7 Sats with no issues.
It appears to me that FW 2.5.x is too buggy and needs more work.
I tried AP mode, disabeling Port Scanning and DoS protection ..etc.
It didn't decrease the CPU usage.
I found the issue is with all after Firmware Version 2.3.5.30.
I restored my router to 2.3.5.30 now, CPU runs smoothly and no issues.
so I think Netgear should the CPU hogging issue for firmware 2.5.x on RBR50.
And did you factory reset the entire system after recent FW was loaded and check the CPU usage again? This should need to be checked.
I believe Orbi wasn't designed to have more than 3-4 supported RBS connected so even if v30 is working ok with 7, maybe more recent version of FW make this more apparent.
Heres mine with v16 loaded and just two RBS connected:
