ORBI Mesh RBR760 CPU Usage due to Parental Controls
Hello, When I activate my subscribed and paid for Parental Controls the CPU of the RBR760 goes up to 90 to 100% CPU usage constantly and never returns to normal values. When I switch it of...
Yes, dns request are slow and internet feels sluggish. I got 1 GB down so I notice it fast.
Beside that, CPU at 100% all the time ain't good. And the clear cause is Parental control.
I also use Netgear Armor, this takes appr. 10% of CPU long term.
For now I disabled both and router is now at around 20% CPU usage.
Hello,
When I activate my subscribed and paid for Parental Controls the CPU of the RBR760 goes up to 90 to 100% CPU usage constantly and never returns to normal values. When I switch it off it return to 20% to 30% usage.
What can I do besides turn it off? I need the Parental controls and paid for them as well.
Firmware is up to date and settings are default, beside ipv6 and upnp are on. This does not impact CPU usage badly though.
Hope all is clear, willing to provide additional information.
Parental controls has to do traffic inspection. so its going to have a higher usage. Maybe shouldn't be quite that high but higher than normal as the CPU has to do the inspection.
I understand that some inspection has to be done although the main feature for me is the on / off timings of devices for the kids.
But it should not make the network and internet unusable and at the moment this is the problem.
Download and transfer speeds drop to 10% of normal capacity at random times. With PC off it works fine.
