Is it normal that the memory used be 95%? sometime when i do a ping i lost some packages but the connection is excellent (54Mbps). It could be by the memory?

Thanks so much,

WRT54G has only 16 MB RAM. It depends on the build that you have flashed and on the services that are running, how much free RAM is available. I don't think that less RAM is the reason for lost pings. To/from which clients are you loosing ping-pakets? If these are wireless clients, it could have something to do with energy safing mode. It's normal that some ping pakets might get lost, if you ping a client after a longer time.

Yes. This is Linux. Not windows. Linux doesn't waste available memory.
