    Need help with Cake SQM

    I've been dealing with bufferfloat issues ESPECIALLY when uploading, and I'd love to be able to start streaming and enjoying low pings under stress. Adaptive QoS from merlin has been better, but not what I'd like it to be. I'd like to try out cake QoS but I don't see it in my QoS options, I was...

    Sudden network issues, looking to fully reset my TUF-AX5400 router running Gnuton's Merlin fork

    Hey, been a while. After applying the most recent firmware updates to my TUF-AX5400, I'm noticing both slower overall speeds on all connected hardware, as well as higher ping on my PC that's using a media bridge (RT-AC56U, running John's fork) in place of a hardwired cable connection. I'm not...

    GS-AX5400 WiFi Gradual Slowdown (2.4ghz specifically)

    Apologies if wrong forum category, my issue is specifically with the Wireless on my ASUS router however. Pretty much as the title reads, my GS-AX5400 has a perculier problem where the 2.4GHz band creeps to an eventual crawl and requires a router reboot, which then immediately fixes the speed on...

    SOLVED: very asymmetric UL/DL speed on 2.5G line

    Hi. I recently got a 2.5/1 Gigabit line at my home. I have a RT-AX88U Pro, and the line uses a 2.5 gigabit FG1000R SERCOMM ONT with firmware ver. V1.03.30.038. I notice a very odd behaviour in terms of download speed. Here's some cases: A). If I try the speed test either on the ASUS graphic...

    WiFi congestion - maybe nothing to be done?
