XR1000 Cpu usage high at idle
Hello again, I'm sure you are tired of my incessant whining, but, I've got another question concerning this router. What would cause the CPU's to be running at 80 to 90 percent while no devices are re...
- Great to hear that, do let us know if the new router works as expected!
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What CAT# lan cable do you have between the router and ISP modem?
How many devices do you have conntected?
Do you have QoS enabled or disabled?
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
As I stated above, modem is a nighthawk 2050v that I purchased, factory reset and firmware reinstall completed 2 days ago, 4 devices online at time of photo, only 3 using data per the network monitor data, an xbox series x sitting at dashboard, xbox one playing videos and my pc running duma os dashboard, nothing using over 200kbs up or down. QOS is enabled and I run that shutdown/startup process every time I reset the modem and router. I turned off add blocker, reset, and it's still showing the same cpu usage. Is it possible someone has hacked my router and us using or uploading/downloading information in the background?
