May I ask anyone can recommend a better Router known for ease of use, high performance with best SQM available to handle the bufferbloat?

Here's a crazy suggestion, that will probably get laughed at here. Maybe try a VPN service and use VPN Director for that one user to use it exclusively. This could solve the isp throttle problem (they won't know what the data is, so no special rules) and it becomes the VPN provider's problem to limit the bandwidth of the user, not yours. Win-win?

Thank you Rung but I am afraid I dont know how to setup such. Do you have a reference page or discussion topic which I can refer to?
Also, FlexQOS is behaving like CAKE. If you use FlexQOS, it cut your internet speed by 50%.
This is speedtest by using ASUS build-in test when FlexQOS is disabled and enabled
The download speed almost HALF of it.

Then, I go to https://bufferbloat.libreqos.com/ to do the test where ASUS FlexQOS is enabled vs disabled. The result is same. GradeC

Question: Can we confirm FlexQOS will also downgrade the internet speed by HALF for download but not the upload ?

Best Regards,
WH

It's just a crazy idea and was hoping for someone to shoot it down. I wouldn't recommend subscribing to a VPN service like NordVPN just to try it out. You can search VPN client discussions on this board to learn more. Usual protocols are either OpenVPN or Wireguard, depending which the provider supports.
