I'm just curious if anyone else here has tried the new DD-WRT v.24 RC3 with much success? It seems to work alright on my WHR-HP-G54, but my free memory keeps disappearing. Back with v.23, it'd stay around 3MB. However, I checked earlier today and it was down to 700KB! When I reboot it, it'll jump back up to around 3MB, but gradually goes back down. Last I checked it was at 2.1MB.
 
what services do you have running? Do you have any VLANs or any QoS or anything that could cause over head? Or it could be a memory leak. I tend to stay with Final releases over release candidates because of this exact type of thing.

You aren't running any Linux apps on your router are you?
 
Just a basic install of DD-WRT with basically all services disabled. When I get back this Sunday, I'll probably just go back to v.23 until they finalize v.24
 
Well, when you start running a lot of managed services you can have a lot of overhead. Is there a mini version of the RC? Those are light weight versions and take up less memory over the full featured firmware.
 
As I mentioned, I'm not running any special services. I tried the mini version and it really didn't have any extra free RAM(maybe 3.7MB right after the flash/reboot)
 
do you have any logging on, firewall,? also by default bandwidth monitoring is on and stored in local mem. so i know you said you have basic stuff off. just double checking. *getting mad b/c they removed telnet in vista and too lazy to get a telnet prompt so had to switch on xp comp* :D and i think if you telnet into it and type ls -s -i it will give a file size for each file and you can sniff to the file
