ASUS rt-ac86u Merlin 384.11_2 settings advice ?

VM won't let you use a different modem.

We've still got the Super Hub 2 and as much as I would like to upgrade our broadband, it would mean having a SH3, which I don't want, as multiplayer gaming is played a lot. Hopefully they'll bring out the SH4 soon and it works properly.

I can't believe something wasn't done about the SH3, as you could argue it's not fit for purpose.

Im so jealous you have SH2, I went on the VM forum to ask for one and was frowned upon lol. They don't have new stock and apparently it also has a puma chipset. If they ever brought out a modem that was at least functional or if they brought out a specialised modem marketed for gamers, even if you had to purchase it separately I would throw my money at them but hey some people just cant business properly.

I have a technician coming tomorrow, they checked my power levels online and found that I have quite high power levels on many downstream channels and many post rs errors. I'll upload some of my status report here maybe you guys can give me some feedback.

aww shucks your welcome, trust me your making my day too plus this is the second time you've helped me out giving the best advice i've received from any other forum.

Well I think I'm done I've done all the m&m steps and installed freshjr qos script which made me feel like a hacker and my undf prio is 2 so I think its working, Qos has been set up to my bandwidth 85%.
only thing I had no clue about what you were talking about was the cidr ip range, what is it? what does it do? where do I input necessary changes?

(edited) ive done the cidr calculation online I used ip range to cidr using my router ip and the ps4 ip, not sure if that's what I was meant to do, but I got a list of ip's.

using this cidr calculator : https://www.ipaddressguide.com/cidr

I just installed the FreshJr QOS Script and following his instructions I stopped at the CIDR step. I made the calculation online but I don't know where I can put the calculation results on the QOS. Can you tell me please?
