RAX54v2 Lock up issues with Smart Parental Controls on
I had a RAX45 for less than 2 years and worked okay, until I turned on the Smart Parental Controls. anywhere between 2 to 5 days apart, it started to drop internet connection while wi-fi connection ...

Bottom line, my question is this - are others who use the Smart Parental Control having similar problems of the router locking up in one form or another periodically? My speculation is that with the Smart Parental Control activated, the router seems to become far more unstable after running for a few days, as if it's running out of resource (I'm guessing on RAM usage because even right after power cycle, it's already using up 450MB out of 497MB available), and its underlying software doesn't know how to recover properly.
Might be worth passing this one by the people who use, and manage, Smart Parental Controls.

Thank you for the suggestion. Done after not finding nothing about this already in the forum. As a first-timer I didn't realize there was separate form related to Smart Parental Control.
