V7.2.8.5_5.1.21 RBR850 memory leak
I keep tracking RBR850 memory usages via its debug page. I saw it increased 1MB per day. After rebooting it took about 350MB and after online about 10days it reached 450MB so I need to reboot it every month. I hope it can get better in next firmware release.

What happens when it reaches 450MB or past this?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since you applied this FW update?
What all is connected to the router?
What features are enabled on the RBR?
Is any logging enabled on the RBR? Debug or Admin logs?

1MB per day is a Typo? (100MB in 10 days is more like 10MB per day.) With 1GB of memory, does it reach 750MB in 40 days? Is the growth in memory usage uniform from day to day, or does it vary?

I just reboot it when it took more than 600MB. It seems consistent.

I did one factory reset it doesn't make difference. I just reboot it when it took more than 600 MB. I did not turn log on but I do have lot IoT devices. I have almost 200 devices on the network. After reboot it allows took about 35%cpu and 350MBs

What happens when it reaches 450MB or past this? Does the system fail?
