EX7000 AC1900 Memory Leak

Our management system pings the EX7000 regularly and we have noted the response time gradually extends, getting very long after a couple of days.  Restarting the router returns response times to normal, but they continue to increase after that.  Firmware version is 1.0.1.78.  This sounds like a memory leak, but, are others having similar issues?

I recommend you revert back to v66...

When you updated the firmware did you perform a  30-30-30 reset?  In the past when I would just update the firmware on my AC1900 I would have issues with performance.  If I did a 30-30-30 (or nvram reset) then reconfigured the device after the firmware update it behaves much better.

Did this work for you on the v78 version of FW?
