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!
Pretty hard to say without knowing too much, looks like its fluctuating so quite possible some background processes occurring like downloading a cloud update (they're not big) or QoS is checking packets. If you're using Adblocker then that is more likely the cause. If you're not losing speeds and the router isn't hot then it's nothing to be concerned about.
So something I observed after I disabled adblocker is that in my logs, the date has reverted to Jan 24th (this has happened before) and it is creating a new log entry every 15 seconds or so. Is this normal, and if not, could it be the reason the router is using so much of the cpu?
Can you provide an example of the log entry it's posting every ~15 seconds?
Does the date/time show correctly in System Information?
- Here's a picture of the log this morning. The date is correct but the time is not. The date and time are correct in the system settings.
- Also, since my last reboot which was last night before I turned in, I've apparently background uploaded 12+ million packets. Not sure if that matters or not, it's done this since day 1.
- Restarted router and the Jan 24th logs came back right on que.
