Hi @denis-odessit 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

FYI. As long as there are traffic flows through the WAN, it will increase the CPU usage.

As the release note writes, the logic to utilize the CPU cores has been changed. It is more aggressive than before.

The graph heavily depends on how much traffic you have on the WAN.

I think I have just confirmed that the issue is port 8043, which needs to be redirected from WAN to controller. After that the upgrade is successful:

The problem is, after that change the controller's config page is accessable from the Internet... And that's something I would like to avoid...

Cheers

From our previous conversation, I recall that you have different sites.

So, it might be the case that it is located at another site.

The router cannot access the remote controller.

(My assumption)

For me the CPU usage looks good.

Mostly in standby mode, but there was some bigger traffic just now so I ca see a pick in CPU usage, but not as high as the others:

Yes, my ER605 is in remote location, contacting via Internet with main location (controller).

Ports: 29810, 29814, 29815, 29816, 29811, 29812, 29813, 27001 are forwarded to Controller.

Ports: 8043, 8088 are not, to prohibit the access to controller from the Internet.

EDIT:

OK, I take it back, the CPU usage can go crazy even if the traffic is not as high as before the upgrade:

Cheers

I explained CPU usage in the previous discussion. You can refer to that.

Dev also does not see this as a problem, as this release includes a change in CPU scheduling. According to them, there might be some movements addressing that to make it like a "line" instead of a heartbeat graph down the road.

  @Clive_A the newest beta lowers maximum throuput while using DPI

on prod version prior to the upgrade the speed was around 870mbit

now it's around 600 mbit

  @GRL hello, do you have some way to download the new beta firmware file? Or can you give us the file name so we can try to figure the download link? Thank you

  @phongtom 

there is no download, you have to downgrade to 2.2.6 and upgrade from the controller.
