Good afternoon,
I've had my router since January 2015 and I've been mostly satisfied with the exception of one issue. I noticed that I would have random reboots of my router, I have been able to track down the cause of this problem until last night. I have been noticing for a long period of time that my RAM usage is always very high, I have all of the extra features in the router turned off with the exception of samba share. It seems that whenever I am accessing any files from a USB device connected to the router my RAM usage will slowly rise starting in about 32% going as high as 72 or 73% at which point the router will randomly reboot and the memory usage will remain in the 70% bracket. The only thing that will return the memory usage to normal is either resetting the NV RAM or as I discovered last night unplugging my USB hard drive.
Is this normal behavior or do I have something wrong with the router?
I have contacted ASUS about this and they want me to send them the router so that they can evaluate it. Problem is I can't do that because I do not have a backup router to use in the meantime. If this is a hardware issue I'll just try my hand at the 3200
Any help or advice on this issue would be extremely appreciated, I'm losing my mind here. Thanks very much
