Slow CPU on Asus RT-AC56U

Hello.

It looks like the CPU is not busy with OpenVPN on ASUS RT-AC56U.

How can I solve it?

Best regards

Bernd

Do you mean busy... or not busy when using OpenVPN?

I mean not busy when using OpenVPN.

If your CPU is not busy... can you more clearly describe your issue then?

The image in your other post shows OpenVPN using 20% of the CPU...that's quite a bit in my opinion...given you still have to pass traffic to WAN and LAN.

Also, did you take the screenshot while the download was in progress?

If I use top command and download a testfile with openvpn, then I only have 20% CPU utilization.

Download speed is maximum 1.5 Mbps.

With DD-WRT and TomatoUSB I had 10-20 Mbit/s.

Also, did you take the screenshot while the download was in progress?

Yes.

Are you connected wires or wireless? As I recall, that unit has Broadcom wireless.

I am connected with cable/wires.

The solution is:

Flash snapshot and use the option "OVPN configuration file upload".

Now I have 10-20 Mbps.
