    ...the xtables support (which is not in iptables 1.3.8). So, I can't enable the kernel module. Unfortunately this means you found a new limitation for MIPS....no QoS IPv6 support. The next release will disable the QoS IPv6 code on MIPS (save a bit of processing and get rid of the syslog msgs).

    I'm not aware of any problems with QoS on the MIPS routers....all of the reports have been that it works well. Did you factory reset and reformat jffs after loading the fork firmware?

    @pharma Thanks for the feedback. I did a lot of work on the traditional QoS sometime back with the help of a couple of forum members to really wring it out. Haven't touched it since....you know the old saying, 'If it ain't broke.... :) BTW....what router are you running?

    Setting at 1000 Mbs will do no good, and may actually hurt things since your 'real' max throughput without CTF is max 300Mbs (or lower, like in Colin's case closer to 200 Mbs). Try a value like 200 and see if you can see a change.

  43. john9527
    - 278 Posts - john9527
    It really doesn't matter....both QoS and HW Acceleration are functions of a router, not an AP. (The bug is neither should be shown in AP mode).
  44. john9527
    - 11179 Posts - john9527
    Also remember that the default for QoS is that unclassified traffic goes in the 'Low' priority category (unless you change it). Some speedtest sites can use unusual ports...for example xfinity used to use port 5555

    1.0.1.6 sounds like a CFE level, not a firmware level. If the current asus firmware is 380.3000 or above, you need to use the firmware restoration tool, otherwise the gui will work. There are more details in the first post. Also note that VPN isn't supported on the N16....too little memory.

    No idea if it's the same thing, but on my fork there were cases where qos would attempt to start before the WAN was fully up and silently fail. You can make a qos-start script (there are two cases with args init and rules on traditional qos) to put some data in the syslog to check the sequencing.

    I'll add a 'Reset' button to my todo list....in the meantime, log into the router and enter /tmp/qos stop /tmp/qos start

    I just checked my N66 (it currently not hooked up to the WAN), but I do get two tables populated with zero's and pie charts that are just a line(no data) for both updoad/download. Checked both Chrome and Firefox.

    Nothing I am aware of. Two things if you would... - open the browser console and look for any errors - please log into the router and send me the output of /tmp/qos via PM.

    What are your 'base' upload/download speeds? Also, check in the detail from the bufferbloat test to see if one or the other is having problems. If you have a relatively low ISP bandwidth, sometimes their 'throttling' algorithms can wreak havoc with bufferbloat that can't be managed.

    Actually, it's been on my mind for a long time. I was going to try and implement IFB which would be ARM only. But then I got an idea of a different method to try that would be a bit easier to implement and also work on MIPS when I backported the Bandwidth limiter QoS.

    Happy New Year to all! It's been a bit longer for this release, but it contains some significant new functions....a re-written QoS and support for DNSCrypt. Hope everyone finds them useful additions. Please take the time to read through the first post for details and some usage notes...

    Can't think of a reason.....start by disabling any QoS/Bandwidth limiter to make sure nothing is set up there for your old speeds.
