Yes.

A compromise that is probably not ideal for gaming. The defaults are probably better for gaming. But testing and data is needed.

I guess the improved connection via tp-link WiFi is a red herring, and you are just seeing variability between successive runs of that speed test.

Thanks. Since bandwidth varies so much with my own 4G connection, the only way to render cake effective is to keep adjusting the cake bandwidth (hence cake-autorate). This way I can keep latency in check without worrying about sacrificing too much bandwidth at any given moment. The effect of...

Thanks for posting. Looks great. You are one of the first adopters of cake-autorate on Asus Merlin. Might you consider an outdoor modem if you are not already using one? The Zyxel NR7101 is very good.

Is it consistently A+ when setting bandwidth to 5 Mbit/s? If so, it’s just a case of lowering bandwidth until you get satisfactory results.

I’d encourage you to verify with simple testing. Even just running from a Windows command prompt ‘ping -n 10000 1.1.1.1’ and saturating the connection with a download and looking at the latency increase. Or you can try the Waveform bufferbloat test.

Actually Starlink has come on leaps and bounds such that I’m not even sure bufferbloat is an issue for Starlink connections these days. Try saturating the connection and seeing how much latency increases under a ping test. Probably by only a small amount now. If that’s indeed the case, the only...

Thanks - done: https://github.com/lynxthecat/cake-autorate/commit/91cefa5ca66a8d33ac59264c3ab2444f2567dcd4 I've also changed the post-install guidance to: https://github.com/lynxthecat/cake-autorate/commit/41198015d829576853a0bc66637cc4ed17c5523d As we know that this works and there is an...

Excellent news! What does total CPU usage look like for cake-autorate on your device? You can check with ‘atop 2’, then tap ‘p’ to collate the processes, and observe the total CPU percentage for 'bash'.

What happens if you try to launch using: bash ./cake-autorate.sh

Many thanks for this information @underdose. I've just added a dependency check for mktemp and mention in the documentation to install coreutils-mktemp. The temporary asus-merlin branch was deleted as the changes were pulled into the master branch. Please use the instructions as outlined here...

@rlj2 is mktemp not available by default in Asus Merlin? Looks like there may still be a couple of issues needing ironed out.

There's been a lot of progress and I think it's working now - see: https://github.com/lynxthecat/cake-autorate/pull/299

Please can you try running with: sh ./setup.sh lynxthecat/cake-autorate asus-merlin
