Deco X50 CPU 100%
Hello,
I have a system consisting of 7 Deco X50 units, configured in Router Wi-Fi mode, managing around 50 connected devices (mostly IoT devices).
Recently, I’ve noticed that the CPU usage stays constantly at 100% on all units, even when there’s very little network traffic.
The network still works, but performance is sometimes slow and unstable.
Configuration details:
-
Model: Deco X50
-
Number of units: 7
-
Mode: Router
-
Number of clients: about 50 (mostly IoT)
-
Connection between units: wireless mesh (no Ethernet backhaul)
Observed symptoms:
-
CPU remains at 100% (as shown in the Deco app)
-
Occasional Wi-Fi slowdowns or instability
-
Rebooting all units doesn’t reduce CPU load
Actions already taken:
-
Rebooted all Deco units
-
Temporarily disabled QoS and HomeShield
-
Checked mesh topology (all links show good signal)
-
Updated to the latest available firmware
Could you please confirm if this behavior is known or if it may be related to a firmware issue?
I would appreciate any further troubleshooting steps or updates that could help resolve the abnormal CPU usage.
Thank you for your support,
