QoS Upload and Download Speeds

[MarkyPancake]

I just want to make sure I'm entering my upload and download speeds correctly for the Automatic Mode, so please can someone confirm that the two options are:

Mb/s = Megabits per second

Kb/s = Kilobits per second

So the value needs to be in bits and not bytes?

The reason I'm asking is last night I entered the values as Mb/s and then when it got near to finishing saving the change the up and down fields briefly contained values different to what I put in and the numbers had more digits before they reverted to the values I entered.

I'm on a 152 Mb down and 12 Mb up service if this helps.

Does this firmware have the ability to try to detect your speeds? If so I cannot see how to do it, because if I leave the fields blank or enter 0 it throws up a validation error asking for a value, then when I put in a value it uses what I've entered.

1. bits
2. no, it has this function before, but it's not precise, so it's removed
- suggest to use speedtest on your side
- firmware do traffic detect has some limitation, CPU / bandwidth / ctf / iptables input chain
3. qos can't set to zero, you must input a value after you use speedtest or ISP suggests what value you setup

So if I choose megabits and for arguments sake did get my ISP's advertised speed of 152 down and 12 up, this is what I would enter in the speed fields?

You can follow the ISP's advertised speed to setup your upload / download bandwidth, when you do testing, please check no any application is using, it will make your testing is not precise.
152 = 152Mbps? you need to transfer setting by yourself
if 152 MB/s = 152*8 Mbps
if 152 Kbps = 152 /1024 Mbps

My ISP advertises their speed in megabits per second, not megabytes, so 152 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up.
