2860ac on 3.7.8.2 and noticed two things :-

1) cpu now regularly at 88% & memory at 70% usage - with very simple setup, no rules, only WAN1 enabled, no filters, single SSID and about 30 devices connected

2) wifi performance has dropped massively - both in terms of throughput, range & stability

Not sure what's going on or what logs I can look at - but this firmware has reduced wifi materially :(

---
A reboot drops CPU to 7% again.

We saw the 88% CPU and 70% memory with 3.7.8 and 3.7.8.2 too but we don't think that it's causing a problem. Might be the web interface reporting it wrong but that's pure speculation on my part.

I think it is at least one of the problems - as after 12hrs it's locked back at 88% CPU and the wifi performance has plummeted again :(

Looks like Draytek have addressed the 5Ghz Wifi issue.

Still not noticed any issues with wi-fi in my own use, so I suspect I might be lucky on that front.

Increased CPU and memory use, yes - but only after reading the comments here as it doesn't *seem* to have had any impact on actual performance.

Hello c128,
Did you have to do anything special to get Now TV working thru your Draytek?
Thanks.
