higher CPU usage with ROSv3.13

RouterOS General
1

Hello!

I’ve upgraded one of our APs (RB600) from 3.11 to 3.13.
The CPU-load has increased significantly on every client RB connected to it (RB133s, RB532s & RB333s).
Here’s an image of a RB133’s CPU-load (this one is running ROS 3.4) before and after the AP upgrade.

Has anyone experienced a similar behavior on client side RouterBoards with Access Points upgraded to ROS v3.13?

AP —> /interface wireless print

Flags: X - disabled, R - running 
 0  R name="wlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0C:42:XX:XX:XX arp=enabled interface-type=Atheros AR5413 mode=ap-bridge ssid="xxxxxxxxx" frequency=5640 band=5ghz 
      scan-list=default antenna-mode=ant-a wds-mode=dynamic wds-default-bridge=bridge1 wds-ignore-ssid=no default-authentication=yes default-forwarding=no 
      default-ap-tx-limit=0 default-client-tx-limit=0 hide-ssid=no security-profile=default compression=no

Thanks,

from 10%-20% in 3.11 to 30%-40% in 3.13 in both cases everything is perfect, so why do you need to worry?

P.S.You actually have a different problem - your board is using only half (or third) of its potential - maybe you need less powerful board there :slight_smile:
