Nvidia Shield TV locking up RT-AC87U

[dragunov84]

Running Nvidia Shield 5.2 (5.1 same issue) and using an Asus RT-AC87U router on the latest firmware (also tried latest merlin firmware) and the Shield is causing the CPU to jump to 100% on the Asus router.

The shield does not have to be doing anything but I can prove it is the problem but removing the ethernet cable, once removed the CPU drops to 2% and the web interface is usable. Reconnecting the ethernet causes the CPU to jump back to 100%. This causes issues with the entire network as the router cannot respond to any request.

Anyone else having similar problems?

Which 87U LAN port are you connecting the shield to?

LAN1 is shared with 5GHz via the Quantenna chipset, which can be problematic...

Haven't heard of any problems with the shield, but have heard of plenty of problems with the 5GHz/LAN1 on the 87U...

(side note - also check the cable used, might be a problem there - what happens if changing cable/port - and the shield does support WiFi, what happens there - if things don't change, then consider something with the shield itself)

Checked and it's not using LAN 1, it only started occuring when I bought the Nvidia Shield. Will try different cable/port/change to wifi but none of those are really the root cause. I'll try to grab some traffic from the wire the next time it occurs.

grabbing some traffic off the wire is a good thing - and it doesn't hurt to take a look at the system logs just in case...
