Please follow the minimum report format requirements. Your reports are useless otherwise.
If the problem does not relate the command, I am 100% sure not in WRT1900ACSV2.
If possible, many people had reported about WRT3200ACM and WRT32X CPU Loading keeping in 50% or high. Your feedback meaning like useless. Actually, we really really worry about the cpu will be burnt a time. I also had captured the screen to show.
Secondly, the ath1 does not work, I think that the Use DNSMasq for DNS & DHCP-Authoritative were enabled by default settling. I will disable the functions shortly!
Although you will not reply me, I try to tell the fact in my view about r43397. If I had not disabled the Use DNSMasq for DHCP & Use DNSMasq for DNS, I cannot connected the 2.4G AP with any devices since 2018.
In the config, I just set up
1. pptp server
2. Wifi 5.8G
3. Wifi 2.4G
I think many people also have this feedback in DD-WRT. We do not have solution to fix the basic needs when we had bought a high price router
Unfortunately, using Linksys Factory Firmware of WRT32X users feedback, they had the same result. The connection always is terminated.
In the case of 50% CPU Loading,
Comparing the DD-WRT Build in March before, I can make sure the heat sink temperature was increasing. That is the physical. I do not feel safe. The same reference post is last page, the user is installing 14CM fan for cooling.
According the systemlog, I did not find anything about 50% loading last month.
The reason is that I really do not understand how is useless, what is useless and where is useless from my observation. I am not angry but I feel helpless.
However, I think I am the first one to report 50% Loading and Wifi Issue about WRT32X.
Thanks!

The load issue probably has nothing to do with anything related to dnsmasq. I give up trying to make sense of you messy folks in the Marvell forum.

@M:
"Use DNSMasq for DHCP" is no longer a user-configured "valid" setting as it is the only DHCP server in the firmware for quite some time now. If you are not using DNSMasq for DNS, what are you using, what is your configuration? The proper configurations have been discussed plenty in regards to DNSMasq over the past couple of years. It seems like you have a lot of conflicting configuration issues that is causing you grief, but I don't know. It seems like you are not adapting to changes in the firmware. I am not saying there may not be underlying problems with the firmware images, but without a complete reset and configuration step-by-step from scratch and testing to find out what breaks things, there doesn't seem to be any way to figure out what needs to be resolved.
Use DNSMasq for DHCP and DNSMasq for DNS are enabled by default in WRT32X.
I disabled the DNSMasq for DHCP and DNSMasq for DNS because pptp server does not work in r36168. After disabled the function, wifi and pptp server had resumed.
I try to step by step.
index.asp
Local IP Address
Time Zone
Server IP/Name
DDNS
custom
Mac Address Clone
Enabled
Wireless
In WRT32X
When the wifi-ap is dd-wrt, it can connect. When the AP information and encrypt password are set up, the result is not our expectation.
ath0 (WPA2 AES) + (30dbm)
ath1 (WPA2 AES + TKIP) + (30dbm) + Wireless SSID Broadcast Disabled (If ath1 is disabled, ath2 ap cannot be opened)
ath2 (WPA2 AES + TKIP) + (20dbm) (ath0 and ath1 are using the same mac address, I need the Windows device to select 2.4 but the device is just connect ath0. If ath2 is disabled, ath1 is no wifi. )
In WRT32X (50% Loading), the interface had changed. Only ath0 and ath1
When the wifi-ap is dd-wrt, it can connect. When the AP information and encrypt password are set up, the device cannot connect any device.
SPI Firewall - (Enabled All Items were selected except Limit PPTP Server Access)
PPTP Passthrough Enabled
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

ifconfig eth1 hw ether AA:${MAC}

nvram set wan_hwaddr="AA:${MAC}"
stopservice wan
startservice wan
Schedule Reboot (Every Day)
Those settling is applying in Atheros Router, BroadCom Router and WRT1200AC. Very less problem had be found.
In WRT1900ACSV2, the router performance may not be stabled but it can be operated. In r43266, the UBoot may be damaged last night. When the router reboot, it will return to default settling. Finally, I force to erase the firmware and reinstall the dd-wrt firmware to r43397. Actually, it is stable but I found the apply settling is loading too long time and time out.
In WRT32X, I do not know how to express to you! I believe that it has many bugs. I always concerned it and caused an Headache many time!
Other issues
BroadCom Chip Client Mode (Repeater Mode) does not connect WPA2 Enterprise or WPA3 Enterprise AP. Around 1 minute will refuse to connect the router and reconnected again. No IP address can show to success for connection.
I told you everything. I have tested many time. I am very tired. I hope the information is helping firmware.

Linksys WRT AC Series Marvell devices are known to have heat issues. A usb-powered 120mm fan pulling air out of the top does wonders.

Use DNSMasq for DHCP doesn't exist as a setting in the WebUI since around 04-10-2019-r39469 build. The udhcpd alternative was removed in changesets 39350 through 39356.

"DHCP-Authoritative" is not "Use DNSMasq for DHCP", and no, they are not the same effect or the same exact thing. Using the static DNS server entries while not using DNSMasq for DNS doesn't make sense to me. Your configuration looks likely problematic. Proper DNSMasq configuration has been discussed plenty over the past two years.
As far as the loading issue, I don't know if it is configuration-related or not specifically, but I have absolutely zero blatant indication on any of the WRT AC series Linksys Marvell routers that are on my bench (1200AC v1/v2, 1900AC v1/v2, 1900ACS v1/v2, 3200, 32X).
If anyone wishes to correct my thoughts and reasoning, add your thoughts to this discussion tangent, feel free. I just know that my standard configurations and what I have tested on my bench don't "match" these results. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I probably have no business jumping in on this but you have been a great source of help in the past. When I was having problems with losing DHCP you made some suggestions with which I played. Ultimately I reverted to the default setup and disabled Ath1 on my Master. Have not encountered any loss since and I use static resolution extensively.
As far as the high usage I have never seen this on my Master 3200 even though it is quite busy most of the time.
The only problem I have encountered recently is my 1900 V1 WDS Station losing connectivity and constant deauthorizes. I have solved this by using a very old, but reliable, build
It appeared to me that virtually all builds after old faithful seem to monitor the signal level/quality and do some re-connect protocol which of course causes either a deauthentcation or a complete router reboot. Most of the time I don't have problem but when weather comes in and disrupts the signal all hell breaks loose, just not with r31924.
In conclusion I must thank you for your assistance over the years and suggest maybe "M" should listen to your advice and institute some changes based on such. As you indicated "M"s problems appear self-inflicted by configuration. _________________ Starlink & DSL -> TPLink TL-R470T+

The load issue happens with a 100% from scratch WRT32X. It starts at 0% then slowly builds over time from 50-58% ish, then settles around 50%.
It has nothing to do with any configuration, so I'd highly suggest that unless your unit is running into 80C on a regular (I wouldn't worry even if it goes to 90C, it's built for heat), I wouldn't even worry if it has proper functionality. _________________ Router: Linksys WRT3200ACM WLAN0 and 1 have same SSID

If it assumes a bug only!

But I think it is not simple in this case. I never see this model have the high temperature the first time!
My major issue of WRT32X is 2.4G wifi. It refused all of devices connection.

I think that you feel my config having problems in
Use DNSMasq for DNS and DHCP-Authoritative.
First, "Use DNSMasq for DNS and DHCP-Authoritative" are enabled the default settling. Actually, normal user do not touch both items as I believe.
Second, WRT1900ACSV2, WRT1200AC and other standby Routers are used at least 4 years. All configs did not happen a large event. I think you can assume normal case. All of them in AC is 80Hz. now, I am staying at University with VPN.
Third, WRT32X AC Wireless can achieve to 160Hz but I never used the function in Spring 2020 before. All of common configs are copied by WRT1200AC and WRT1900ACSV2 completely excepting the disabled of DNSMasq for DNS and DHCP-Authoritative.
In r36168 of WRT32X, it has DNSMasq for DNS and DNSMasq for DHCP. due to finding a solution solved the 2.4G Wifi, I tried to check every steps in WRT32X since June 2018. If not, the 2.4G Wifi could be used.
That is "selection check" in step by step. In WRT1200AC and WRT1900ACSV2 never found this problem (At least, it is stable to operation).
Final, I really do not know the reason that the 2.4G Wifi refused all of the devices connection before when Use DNSMasq for DNS and DHCP-Authoritative although you give me the DD-WRT source code of WRT32X for inspection.
The last two year, I just used 5.8G Wifi Client Mode in WRT32X and VPN Server.
According to Forum, I am not the one reported the same problem about 2.4G Wifi. It sometimes had comment about"2.4G wifi does not work" etc. You can send the message to ask them but many people also told us the problem. After that, that problem is/is not our problem. WRT3200ACM did not seem having this problem. I really want to know the solution. could you tell me please? Many Thanks!
I need to say sorry for everyone! I never use the forum before, DD-WRT called me using Forum. After that, I know the reason. The server has provided many of build. DD-WRT WiKi or Bible information is not enough
