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!
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?

- That is correct
Does the top of the router feel extra warm or hotter when in this condition?
- Just to let you know I've passed this onto the team to take a look at, I haven't seen those log entries before so want to double check whether that's causing your issues.
- Ok, thanks! I saved the log entries before my last factory reset a couple days ago and I also saved them again today in case they need them. There's some really wild sounding log entries in the full log they might want to see.
