High load on AR300M with Firmware 3.012

Technical Support for Routers

I got high load on AR300M since upgrading to the latest testing-firmware.
There where no significant changes in software installed.

1 Minute Load:
3.46
Average:
3.51
Peak:
5.23

5 Minute Load:
3.82
Average:
3.84
Peak:
4.02

15 Minute Load:
3.38
Average:
3.39
Peak:
3.41

The load doesn’t really effect the usability of the device but I don’t know if it affects in long term.

Are you logged into the WebGUI when you’re looking at the system load?

If so, the WebGUI is doing a constant refresh, and this is kind of a known issue with the upstream OpenWRT LUCI - there’s a couple of issues noted on GitHub, and on the forums over there.

If you log out of the router, the load should drop down to something more normal…

Good to know.
Now I managed to see the load via ssh with the top command.
It’s at 1.1 most oft the time.
I read it should be under 0.7.
