ATTN RBR960 Orbi network users! Need a piece of info from you

HI all, we are trying to hunt down an anomaly that may be an issue and may not be - namely, that the 960 series of Orbi routers seems to regularly use more memory out of its 818MB than older Orbi systems.

 

So here is how to check and what to post - assuming your router IP address is 192.168.1.1, open your browser and go to http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm. It may complain about it not being secure, as it's not an https page. But hopefully you can get to it (I use Chrome/Mac or Edge/Windows and they work). It will ask you to log in like you would to log into your browser's main web page - user name - admin, pw - you password.

 

You will get a page of info about the router - the top section looks like this, please post just the two circled values, CPU Load and Memory Usage:

 

 

Again, just 960 series routers only please! My values are, as you can see:

 

CPU - 14.00%

Memory 564MB/818MB

 

Thank you very much! I and others will be examining the results.

        Keep in mind, I reboot my unit at least once a week.

  • Any progress on this?
