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 ever...

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?

Yes. I did factory reset once. I do have about 20 LAN reserved IPs and IoT set 2.4G only debug off and one FTP forwarding all others are defaults. I did not notice performance degrading since I reset when it grows up to 600MB.

What happens when it reaches 600MB or past this? Does the system fail?
