My appologies I have a BR200 not a BR500. I have about 15-20 devices connected on one subnet and 1 Vlan for Wifi. I have tried to perform the factory reset and the CPU usage is low then when I start connecting devices it goes up again after a day or so. I've tried restoring my confirguration from a backup at first and also without restoring the config (configuring manually) but the issue remains. Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.
