Anyone else notice their ram usage at 98 to 100 percent all the time? My cpu usage runs around 2 to 20 percent. Firmware is the latest Version 3.0.0.4.382.15984. Just wondering if this is normal or something else. Everything else runs great.

I have been observing my ram all day with and without gaming/streaming, and I haven't noticed it go above 50% RAM usage. I am currently on firmware 3.0.0.4.382_15984-gf481f58 installed today.

Yeap... Same issues here. With HDD attached memory usage is 99% all the time. Without HDD around 50-60%. Firmware issue

I am wondering is ASUS seeing this... SO many months passed with this problem. I have unplugged HDD because of this problem and I AM NOT USING it since the mem problem.

The memory usage is normal. Whenever USB storage devices are connected, resources are reserved as part of the Linux kernel memory cache scheme. It is not an issue.

Hahahaha... 100% memory usage? Are serious or you are kidding with us? I had using Asus routers over 7-8 years... Had RT-AC5300 for 2 years. NO it is not normal for memory to get to 100%. On my RT-AC5300 memory never got to 100% like NEVER. Even with both USB used. On both 1TB WD. Memory usage on RT-AC5300 without HDD was around 25-30% with HDD depending how many devices are accessing HDD on router wen't to as high as 60-65%,never above that.

So you explanation is not applicable.

The Rapture is using a newer kernel version than the previous routers. It should not be an issue and will not impact performance.

It is an issue. Since router is having problems with traffic when it is at 100%. You cannot say to me that it is normal. Since I have contacted ASUS Support and they told me that they are working on this issue. 699906999169992
