I see similar logs on ROG GT-AC5300, and I do agree they are very strange.
I guess this is on the account of the last firmware.

Same issue here on the GT-AC5300 with the wlceventd logs.
*I also see 97% RAM usage constant.
* Let me know if anyone figures it out - haven’t seen a firmware release fix yet.*

Memory usage is linked with HDD. If you wish to release half of memory, either do "Restart" or:
Go to Network Map -> USB 3.0 HDD -> Health Scanner -> Rescan
This will release your memory!
Cheers :cool:

@stefan062 - thank you, any idea how long it takes to ramp up to the 97% from reset? I just did reset it, and in fact usage went down to 44%.
Do you know why it even gets to 97% and stays there (seems high to me) from the HDD usage in the first place?
Shouldn't it automatically 'dump' whatever ram/memory usage at some point?
Is there a 'fix' for this? Or just need to reset or rescan the HDD every 'x' number of days?

It can ramp up in just few sec. Depending what you are pulling form HDD. I have set it to Rescan every day at 3AM.
It has been made in such manor so that it can get more frequent info from HDD faster. It caches it to internal memory. For me it is fast with and without internal cache. Try setting Rescan every day at certain point and see how it goes. I thought it was the "issue" like you did year/two ago, maybe sooner but as it turned out its not.

Sure, that makes sense with the cache (just opened some stuff from HDD and saw the RAM go up) - but it shouldn't let it max out.. should it? Or does it keep overwriting the cache when it reaches 97% (highest % I've ever seen it).
I would think there should be a 'Clear HDD cache' option or something to automatically clear the cache at some point, instead of having to setup a HDD scan..
Seems like rescanning the HDD each time is more of a workaround you've found - similar to resetting the router fix 🙂
Say, would the RAM usage staying at 97% cause performance issues?

Well, at my end it went to 98% max. 2-3 software version before this one, made some performance issues for me, but now there are no issues at all. It is OK by Asus for memory to go MAX, but I think it shouldn't keep cache full and on long periods of time. It should clear more frequently, but that maybe bad for some users that use HDD a LOT. This is ok for me, the way it is now, but I think Asus should enable some option so that we can manually set how much and for how long router caches files. As for rescaning it is way easier than resetting the router every time.
