such high load may happen under the condition that you have a lot of bandwith load on your router. a top output could be helpful here _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

I wish I had thought to take a snapshot of top before I reset the router. I will definitely do that next time it happens.
I understand the high load can occur under heavy use, but at the time, nobody was even using it. And if I leave it, the load will stay that way forever until it is rebooted.
I knew I was having the problem today, because the webui stopped working. I had to ssh in to check the load and reboot it.
I will post a copy of top the next time the problem occurs. Is there anything else I can post to help troubleshoot?
Also, while I can SSH into the router, I can NOT access it via https.
I will NOT reboot it, in case you want me to capture more data from it while it is in this state. But I'm sure that if I did reboot it, I would regain https access to the router.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?
This is usually caused by having both Remote Access and HTTPS enabled. Disable one or the other and it should be ok. _________________ WRT54G v2.0 (Bridge)

Actually, my router is having this issue randomly too.
WRT54GL (newest version), DD-WRT SP2 generic standard.
To me it seems httpd "hangs" or "crashes" somehow, problem occured when using https to connect to Webinterface. For some days i connect only with http, didn't have that problem since. Perhaps you should try this, too. If the problem is solved then, perhaps BS (or any other developer) should take a closer look at this!?!
I connect to a distant site through internet, so https would be highly preferable, but if I change some configuration at the distant site (using rflow and macupd, no dns support, so i have to enter the new ip of my homegateway every morning by hand), the httpd stops responding sometimes (may be every 3rd access), so i have to ssh in and "reboot", then again it works.
Some more info:
This WRT is the Gateway for a WLAN with about 25 Users, it is connected wirelessly to a "Fritzbox" at a distant location, where DSL (broadband internet) is available, I connect to it through internet, having port forwarding on the fritzbox activated to access all WRT's and WHR's behind this one WRT, which has port forwardings to the "machines" behind it. (every one of course on a different port
Usually it has a workload of about 40 to 45 %, never seen more than 60% on it, except when httpd "crashes", if thats what its doing (i supect it to).
May be the "gods" of firmware devel can help us here.
Greetings

well, deactivating one of this two (ssh remote access or https) is not such a good idea, if https is not working, i can't restart the machine with ssh-reboot. That would mean, I have to drive about half an hour with my car to the distant locatíon and reboot it. - not good! ;-)
As written above, there are 25 users on that net, and one or the other always are having some "situations" with applications or games not running too well, if running at all. The network is set up for a few weeks now, I think it would take some more weeks to configure everything to fit their desires as good as possible, so i have to change some config stuff from time to time, and excuse me being lazy, but the webif looks much more comfortable to me than the command line! As for some things, i use the command line, because there is no simple item to click in the webif, so i need them both, and because accessing through internet, ssh and https should be the way to go, if I'm right!?!

This has been a common problem for years. It can usually be cured by disabling web interface remote access or disabling https. The issue occurs when the web interface remote access is set to use https. I don't think ssh has anything to do with it.
It must be a really pesky bug because it has been around for a long time and has been reported countless times. _________________ WRT54G v2.0 (Bridge)

assuming remote access + https enabled causes this, is it possible one of them is improperly reporting idle time? i'm not familiar with idle reporting, so a first glance on my part wasnt really helpful.....
maybe its time to move this over to dev forums and/or bug tracker (if it hasnt already been reported)

Hi,
I'm having the same issue and wanted to keep track of the bug and suggested solutions.
Rather than creating duplicate issues, has there been a bug report in the dev forums and if so, does anyone have the thread number?
Thanks
