Model: Archer AX53  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.5.4 Build 20250926 rel.87654(4555)

I have 2 routers at my home

- One is the "Archer AX53 v1.0" which is the main one connected to the WAN

- And the other router is a signal extender connected to the main one via an ethernet cable 

 

I was trying to connect to my secondary router but i noticed it always fails to connect, it wasn't doing that before

 

I went to check my 2 routers via the web interface, the secondary router looks fast and fine

The main tp link one however was so slow and i could not access the web interface easily

 

I noticed that the CPU usage is 100%, this is why it was so slow and it took to long to navigate inside the web interface

 

Is there a way to monitor system resource usage ?

Monitor in detail so that i know which process is causing the problem and try to troubleshoot this problem 

 

For instance, in my linux machine i use btop

Home routers like AX53 don't have such functionality implemented.

Reboot your AX53 and check if there's any improvement.

If not you can reset to its factory defaults and re-configure from scratch.
