Hi folks,
I have a strange QOS problem with the Asus DSL-AC68U router (firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_47534) in the company I work for. I have found a workaround and have not found the main cause yet, but maybe someone will find this useful (or will help with the main cause).
Basically, after setting the QOS upload bandwidth to 95 % of the provider's nominal value (we have a 50/10 Mb/s connection), the effective upload speed is approximately halved for all connected clients (workstations and mobile phones.). After doubling the upload bandwidth, the effective upload speed is alright. For instance:
- if I set 9.23 Mb/s as the upload bandwidth ("QOS - Normal upload bandwidth.jpg"), then the effective tested upload speed for client is approximately 4.59 Mb/s (halved give or take - "Speed test (workstation) - Halved upload speed.jpg") and the upload speed for the router is also significantly low although not halved (6.07 Mb/s);
- if I set 10 Mb/s as the upload bandwidth, then the effective tested upload speed for client is approximately 5 Mb/s and so on;
- if I set 18.46 Mb/s as the upload bandwidth ("QOS - Doubled upload bandwidth.jpg"), then the effective tested upload speed for client is approximately 9.16 Mb/s ("Speed test (workstation) - Normal upload speed.jpg") and the upload speed for the router is also normal (9.86 Mb/s).
The router has a planned restart every midnight and is indeed resetting successfully (according to the log and Syslog Watcher). The firmware has been upgraded without any problems. Viewing the "ifconfig", "tc qdisc -ls" or "tc filter show dev" for each interface via the telnet (SuperPuTTY) did not helped me much. I did not reset the default settings, however.
That is all folks and take care!
Regards
Vik
