Hi,
does anyone else experience problems accessing LuCI using snapshots from the last few days?
When I try accessing the GUI, the page usually times-out. After few attempts, the overview page might show after some heavy loading. Even then, everything feels very sluggish. Also, the RAM usage keeps increasing gradually (the router uptime is now 1 day, the RAM usage has doubled in this time…normally, it is around 150MB, now it has risen to 300MB and keeps rising). I have not changed any configuration file/settings lately. Internet use is also a bit affected, sometimes it takes some time to load a web page. But, it is still way more responsive as the LuCI.
I am using NanoPI R5C, currently on the latest snapshot.

any specific reason why you're not using stable ?

willingness to test?
We need people using main/master to find out new bugs.
It is well possible that there is a new memory eating bug that manifests in certain configuration, with certain wifi drivers etc.

No problems at my own routers. So far.
Have you checked with top or htop, that which process seems to eat the memory?
I have now removed the wifi usb add on MT7921AU (I have to admit it has been behaving strangly for the last month) to see if wifi is a culprit. I left the drivers/firmware for the wifi card still installed, might also try to remove them later.

dont bother - no device , no resources used

Because the BT8 is only available as snapshot, as is the mx5500 and the b3000.
I'm not noticing this issue though on any of the above devices
Which one of us missed something....?

It looks like that without wifi device and its drivers, there are no issues, LuCI runs as it should. Hopefully, the driver will be improved, otherwise no wifi on my device (I have others access points in the network, so it is not problematic).

Try stronger power adapter like USB-PD laptop charger. Even 35-50W mobile superfast charger may work better. Cheeck with phone that cable is up for the task.

Checks subject of thread, I do not know, according to the subject this is about LuCI performance using snapshot builds.
