Memory leak now occurring again on 970s!
I think I am experiencing a memory leak on both 970 satellites again. The 971 router is fine. All operations are otherwise fine.
I'll bet that one or both will crash and restart sometime soon. ...
Keep us posted on when you see a reboot. 🙄
Update: still chewing memory…

Updated list - memory still growing. Any help from Netgear folks on this one?

Update: memory usage still growing. 971 Router and both 970s have been up 56 days now! Is anyone else tracking their Orbis' memory usage?

FYI - I've been monitoring memory stats for my similar BE, but different, Orbi 870 system (RBE870/871) and not noticed any memory growth. However, my max uptime so far is only 1 or 2 weeks because of manual restarts. My two 870 satellites stay around 470MB and the 871 router 590MB. I will start recording daily stats to be sure. My Orbi has ~80 devices and is running beta firmware V10.5.18.205 right now to resolve a different issue.
UPDATE: From April 16 to this morning, one 970 has gone from 755MB to 845MB, the other from 772MB to 839MB.
In total - I started watching this on March 27th, where sometime prior both 970s had creeped up from 600MB -610MB, where they always ran, to 630MB. So memory growth in 30 days has been:
970 1st floor: 630MB -> 845MB, 7.2 MB a day
970 3rd floor: 630MB -> 830MB, 6.7 MB a day.
Does it go to the range of the router (1005 MB -> 1050 MB), and stop? Does it go to the memory max and crash?
Router and both 970s have been up 66 days now!
This is my last update - I am thinking this must not be anything of importance as I have gotten zero responses on it. If there is any guidance or information that can be shared, I am all ears! Otherwise, I'll just assume there are bigger fish to fry and we'll leave this problem to the future.
