A1300 State Plus CPU usage

Technical Support for Routers
1

I have 2 device connected to the network, one by lan and one with WIFI, despite that I got a CPU load of 8.36, I don’t think it’s normal, could it be a HW issue or a software one?

Hi,

could please provide more information? Logs, enabled services, and so on.

Check this thread to finde some information: How to get support quickly

Thanks for the fast reply, should I upload the .tar the Webpage gave me? Or a specific one?
As for enabled services, I got Adguard and i’m connected to a VPN.
Firmware Version is 4.4.6.
It’s connected to my ISP router via LAN.

The tar file is fine, it contains all necessary logs.
How many lists do you use with AdGuard?

5

Uh, 14 lists.
Here’s the log, I hope it didn’t contain anything personal I cared about
logread.tar (134.5 KB)

While AdGuard is disabled, is the CPU still under that much load?

7

I’ll have to check when it spikes that high again, for now it’s at 1.24. Are you saying that AdGuard or more specifically the amount of lists I use it’s bad for the cpu?

Well „bad for the CPU“ is none of those. If they are just spikes I would ignore it. If it’s a long time it could lead to issues (not in hardware, but maybe some functionality of the router will stop)

Amount of lists and entries is 1 part of the puzzle, yep.

I mean, sometimes it just drops connection to my phone, while my ethernet connected pc works, for it to connect again I need to either remove power from router and still it doesn’t always work or wait 20 minutes for it to relax

Just for comparison:
I run the same firmware (r1). One device connected to LAN, 5 devices connected by WLAN 2.4 and 5 GHz. The A1300 works as repeater/router for an hotel-WLAN and Wireguard -client.
No Adguard or something else running.
System-overview shows a CPU-usage of 0.2 (whatever this means) and memory-usage of 50%.
Slate plus is running in this configuration stable since 20 days.

I wish something as low as 0.2 CPU load. Also yea it’s a bit tricky to understand real load.
My memory is at 80%, should be ram that I would also like to know by what it’s being used.
I guess I’ll try to remove AdGuard and report back how my experience
