I thought the RAX20 was a Quad-Core router?

Netgear RAX20 - Advanced Setup - Router Information - CPU Load CPU1: 1.75% CPU2: 1.32% CPU3: 1.47% Netgear sells the RAX20 as a Quad-Core router but the router info only shows 3 cores?

CPU1: 1.12% CPU2: 1.27% CPU3: 1.72% CPU4: 1.72%

Something funky is going on, Debug shows 4 cores yet CPU 3 & 4 alway share the same value regardless of load?

    Could just be how the scheduler is setup in code. Just because it has 4x cores, doesn't mean its using them "optimally".
