XR300 High CPU Usage

Does anyone have issues with high CPU usage for both CPUs on their XR 300 router? I can’t even load the QOS page because the CPU usage is so high. I’ve factory reset the router and there are no available updated firmware versions either.

    Try a factory reset on the XR router and setup from scratch. Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON as well.

    Whats the brand and model # of the ISP Modem? 

    What FW version are you using? 

     

    Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk Gaming Router products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with NH gaming router products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

  • When did this start to occur? Is the network being maxed out, e.g. downloads consistently?
