high memory usage on wrt54g v1 and total bandwidth usage

Post by florachan »

Hi , I was running gargoyle on wrt54g (v1) with 4 user. majority of them is heavy voip/webcam user. the usage memory usage is very high,

Memory Usage:13.2MB / 14MB (94.8%)

At the moment , the web usage monitoring is turned on and set to 1 pages

Q1 ) is there a way for me to optimise it ? or reduce the memory usage ?
Q2 ) "total bandwidth usage" in bandwidth page is not appearing , does this have anything to do with high memory usage ??

any input regarding this would be appreciated.

cheers,
Flora

1) There's no good way to decrease memory usage below 12-13 MB. Ideally, you would run Gargoyle on a device with 32+ MB or RAM, but unfortunately, it's often necessary to squeeze it in to 16 and it's a tight fit.

2) No, that has nothing to do with memory issues. It only appears after at least one day (when you have data for at least one full day of bandwidth monitoring to report). That's why you're not seeing it right away. Wait a day and you'll see it.
