The procedure will be formatting the SD card and resetting the whole unit and parameter set to factory default.
Based on the log file your sent and the unit ID logged I see that this unit has been produced 2019-09-25. This unit is using an SD card from company XMORE while all units produced after month 10/2019 are using SD cards from company Sandisk. This is the only hardware difference between both units. But these two cards are not that different to produce a CPU load difference of 30%. Usual is a value of 2-5% CPU load.
What I have seen myself in the past with one of my older units <10/2020 was a similar effect and it was gone using the USB update stick procedure. My explanation was that something was wrong with the SD card or file system access. This is why I am recommending to you to perform a recovery.
Thx

Hello Armin,
Thank you for responding. I have followed the steps you indicated and the unit seems to have responded correctly. I was able to witness the recovery program on the local terminal monitor and when it was finished and I rebooted the unit, it appeared to reboot correctly as the local machine.
Unfortunately now the problem is that I cannot login into the unit using the default address of https://NTB827EB8B0E4D as noted on the box it came in. I double checked my network settings and my adapter is set to DHCP. I checked the adapter status and it is showing an assigned Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
Description: Realtek RTL8150 USB 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address: 169.254.65.8
IPv4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
IPv4 Default Gateway:
IPv4 DNS Server:
IPv4 WINS Server:
NetBIOS over Tcpip Enabled: Yes
I am assuming as it has been assigned an IP address, the units DHCP server is working and communicating. But as I cannot raise a local terminal, I cannot check the local ipcondifg settings. I also have the unit cabled directly into my network adapter on my PC, there is no router or switch in between. The response in my browser window is "ntb827eb8b0e4d’s server IP address could not be found." and the error of "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED". I would also assume the unit would still carry its default access address? Or is there another way to possible access it?
Thank you,
Mark
