Hello Everyone!!! I recently got a Unfi Cloud Gateway Ultra and I was curious to see if anyone else has one and what their average memory usage is (and should I be concerned)
My setup is as follows:
Dual WAN
2 VLANs (Work and Home)
Managing 5 Ubiquiti WAPs (3 x SSIDs)
‘Inner Space’ also being used
2 Policy Based rules
Device Identification - On
Traffic Identification - On
Country Restrictions (2)
Ad Blocking - On
DNS Shield - Auto
Filtering Mode - ‘Notify and Block’
Detection Sensitivity - HIGH
Dark Web Blocker - On
Block Known Malicious IPs - On
My Average memory usage is between 1.89GB and 1.93GB (hitting a low of 1.63GB at one point and going as high as 1.98GB) out of the 3.02GB total available
Since this is my first Unifi router, I was wondering if that is normal memory usage. I dont have any slowdowns or performance issues.
Thanks!
Mine is at 1.5GB out of 3GB but I only have one AP connected and very few clients. This is only used for lab testing. I have one WAN, three VLANs, lots of rules, and basically the same configuration.
You will have more memory usage with the additional APs, and probably many more clients. Your memory usage seems normal.
Thanks for the information, jeff3820. There was an update to the software for the console which I applied last night (3.2.17). Now my memory usage is hovering around 1.57GB memory. At one point it was as low as 1.46GB. Perhaps this update tweaks the system a little?
Is the ‘Suspicious Activity’ setting even needed (IDS/IPS) for a home user? Turning it off reduces memory usage significantly.
Was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts regarding my last statement in my last post?
Running EA 4.0.4 and memory is 1.48GB.
Jeff3820 - is this with the ‘Suspicious Activity’ turned on? What settings are you using?
Yes. Just about every feature is on as this device is in my home lab. I also have 3 VLANS and one AP. Very few clients…usually 1-3.
I wouldn’t agonize over RAM…memory should be used and is usually never an issue until it is almost full. You still have lots of headroom!
Is your CGU internet facing?
Sure is. It is double natted with my Pfsense router but that doesn’t matter.
