Hi. I bought a new router, my old RT-AC87U went haywire and kept one CPU at 100% all the time and that disconnected Internet to often.

Bought a RT-AX59U, but its runs at 95-100% RAM usage.

Contacted ASUS support. They said make a hard reset. Did that. RAM at 52%. But after I connected my two USB discs RAM went back to 95-100%.

Issues I have is I can rarely look at movies from the USB discs, I am using a mini PC as media-center. Movie freezes and turns off. When copy big files it can stop in the middle and break the copying. Neither of this happened on my RT-AC87U, and I could look at movies at the same time I copy files, thats not possible at all now.

Is it a bad router or do I need a more powerful one?

Ran SSH and Top command, and it says something like this: 475000K used, 22000K free, 3500K shrd, 19000K buff, 100000K cached.

It says about the same while “idle” and when watching movies or copying except some more buff while “idle”, more like 55000K.

Tell me what info you need to help me.
