If you think an unexplained 25x increase in CPU utilization resulting from an update is a non-existent problem, then there is no hope in discussing this rationally.It's very clearly a flaw and it explains why more heat is being generated.
I have an N100 and have seen no increase in CPU usage nor CPU temperature, it's always well under 60 so it's clearly not a flaw and doesn't explain anything.As Chemlud said, what else is going on with your device?
...The pattern here seems to bea/ a new version is released on top of new major FreeBSD version, with tons of rewrites (such as the dashboard) People notice that things changed and scream "oh noes, it uses more CPU/RAM/beer in my fridge vanished and my cat got ill after upgrade! On the previous version it was just fine, CPU was barely being used. The new one sucks!" "640KB of memory ought to be enough for anybody!"b/ users that have some runaway process running or some quirk in their setup (which may or may not be related to the upgrade at all) jump on the bandwagon and keep adding completely non-specific complaints about their fringe issue to those topics.Wash, rinse, repeat.......
...and once a week a thread with "out-of-state traffic"
Point is: Beginners won't get it, no matter which text you provide.
... But one soul saved from the plasic box router faction is worth posting sensible replies to beginner questions.
