RAXE500 showing three CPU cores not four

[Killhippie]

I just noticed that when I scroll down using router information using the current 1.2.13.100 release the firmware only shows three cores active on my RAXE500, anyone else seeing this  or have I lost a core?

CPU Loading

CPU1: 0.30%  CPU2: 0.19% CPU3: 0.29%

if you log into the debug page, what does it show? 

the debug page is the IP address for the router plus /debug.htm

so if you're 192.168.1.1/debug.htm

@Killhippie, I am also seeing three CPU cores listed for my RAXE500 (1.2.13.100)....

If I use debug I see 4 CPU

It is a weird but with that firmware version, on the advanced page, it will show 3 cores while the debug page, it will show the CPU usage of all 4 cores.

The issue is purely a web UI one where it is failing to poll the 4th core when the page is loaded.
With that in mind the device is making full use of each core. though to really see how it distributes tasks to each core, you will need to give it a heavy workload such as connecting 2 external hard drives, and writing files to both while also doing a simultaneous upload and download throughput test between a system on the WAN side and LAN side of the router, while the armor service is active, while also performing a speed test between wired and wireless clients on each WiFi band, At that point, you may see a number of the cores hit around 40-50% usage.

So far I have not found a way to get a higher CPU load under the stock firmware (also using the latest firmware).
