Memory usage on my Orbi in AP mode continues to climb. Now up to 611MB out of 874MB and rising by about 10MB a day. Uptime of 22 days. I've tried clearing the log and it's made no difference. Memory usage on the satellites is stable at around 320MB.
Assuming it's likely to crash when it runs out of memory, it looks like this firmware may have a maximum uptime of around a month before it requires a manual reboot. I'll probably reboot it manually soon before it gets to that point. Not the biggest problem in the world, but worth noting if you're collecting feedback FURRYe38.
Will be interested to know what happens if and when it maxes out. If you can leave it and just keep an eye on it.
Wondering whats eating up your memory on your unit.
You don't have debug logs enabled do you?

I'm not far behind at 598MB at 27 days. I did not do the factory reset when I did my firmaware upgrade. FURRYe38 , when you indicated you held around 300MB for 14 days, did you do a reset after you did the firmwae upgrade? Also, have you heard any indications of when NG will release an offical version? Kind of crazy we have had no new releases in months.

Only a power OFF of the RBR and RBS for 1 minute or longer after FW was applied if I remember right.
Ya was a power OFF and back ON:

No, debug logs not enabled. All the standard log types are ticked (as they are by default) but because the Orbi is in AP mode it's barely writing anything to the log anyway. That memory usage just keeps ticking up.
I'll leave it for now and keep an eye on it but when it hits about 800MB I'm going to have to reboot it - I rely on this for working from home and I can't afford to have it falling over in the middle of the day.
You might uncheck ALL logging to see if this changes behavior on this.
Did you power OFF the RBR and RBS for 1 minute or longer then back ON after applying this version of FW or have you done a full on factory reset yet?

Yes, I powered the whole system off fpr 5 minutes after applying the firmware then turned the router back on followed by the satellites, letting each one boot up fully before starting up the next. Pretty much exactly the approach you've been recommending, and it's always worked for me.
I don't really want to have to do a full factory reset because apart from this creeping memory issue (which I wouldn't have noticed without looking at the debug page) the system's been completely stable for me since I applied this FW.
I've unticked all the logging options and I'll report back in a couple of days once I've seen whether this has made any difference.
Ok. If there is still memory creep and it seems to stop working or does something bad when it reaches max membory, a factory reset will be needed to see if the creep continues or not..
