1. Instalación

Si has instalado Entware en tu router y has ido añadiendo servicios como Transmission, posiblemente el rendimiento del router se vea ralentizado, sin embargo podemos crear una partición swap para mejorar el rendimiento del router.

Aprovechando que tengo instalado Diversion para bloquear la publicidad, podemos utilizar uno de sus scripts de ayuda que precisamente nos permite crear un fichero para que trabaje como memoria swap

Instalación

Ejecutamos diversion y en el menú pulsamos o

 This manages the Swap file.
A Swap file is useful when the router runs out of
memory (RAM). See router WebUI/Tools under Memory.

No Swap file detected on system.

 2. 512MB
 3.   1GB
 4.   2GB

Una vez terminado, podemos comprobar que realmente el router hace uso de la memoria swap
