AutoBW: Automatically set QoS bandwidth using spdMerlin

[maghuro]

Ok, did some additonal testing and this works for me. Anyone using a VPN-config should try it, too, to verify it works with VPN as well.

#Location of upload/download stats
if [ -z "$Use_VPN" ]; then
  upload_stats="/jffs/addons/spdmerlin.d/csv/Uploaddaily_WAN.htm"
  download_stats="/jffs/addons/spdmerlin.d/csv/Downloaddaily_WAN.htm"
else
  upload_stats="/jffs/addons/spdmerlin.d/csv/Uploaddaily_VPNC$Use_VPN.htm"
  download_stats="/jffs/addons/spdmerlin.d/csv/Downloaddaily_VPNC$Use_VPN.htm"
fi

You're absolutely correct sir.

@maghuro
Correcting VPN line with #
Doesn't help

Sorry, I'm on mobile.
You had to change also the if statement to a fast fix. Use suggestion by @Wolfschiesst it works quicky

The fix for version 1.5 is:

nano /jffs/scripts/AutoBW

Find the line:

if [ Use_VPN -eq 0 ]; then

and change to:

if [ $Use_VPN -eq 0 ]; then

Then press ctrl+x then y then press enter

until 1.5.1 i am guessing

Working again
Thanks

Any reason speedtest and not dslreports?

I believe it goes off what spdmerlin uses..speedtest

Not something to get overly critical about: from what I gather, they're all flawed in one way or another; some less so than others.
It's nice to have some verification that we're getting close to what we pay for, isn't it?

#Test Mode (run and calculate but do not make any changes)
# meaning no "nvram commit" or "tc class change" commands
# will be executed
# 1 = test mode (no changes), 0 = make permenant changes
test_mode=1

Thanks!

How is this script working for everyone?
I noticed I was getting "better speeds" when I had my QoS set to auto (my network felt "snappier"), so if this returns that functionality (or fine-tunes it), I'll get it happening.
Chime in, please, users. I want the good AND the bad.

I don't get it. I followed perfectly these and it still says: TEST MODE: No changes were made???

Did you edit the code to change :

#Test Mode (run and calculate but do not make any changes)
# meaning no "nvram commit" or "tc class change" commands
# will be executed
# 1 = test mode (no changes), 0 = make permenant changes
test_mode=0

I can not speak for everybody and I have worked on the code but...

I have not implemented it!!

AS OF VERSION 1.5
The code takes the measured values from a spdMerlin and uses those values to calculate QOS values and Traffic Control Values(called tc).

I am not familiar with "Traffic Control" and what the code does to help with internet speeds. I am hoping to learn more over time.

I can tell you there are some issues with the theory behind the script.
1) Using the a speed test to get the Max Down/Up Load values:
I have 1Gbps internet. I can get 900Mbps when I hook up my PC directly to the Cable Modem
I can only get 450Mpbs through the the router. With this problem the script would set a "bad" value in my router for QOS and improperly limit the Traffic Control stuff, I believe!!

Ok, this is good info: maybe someone who does know about these things will let us know how to “fix” Traffic Control reporting or calculation. Or- perhaps Asus will come up with something in their QoS code that will help; it may be that this will offer some insight into what’s going on on their side that we don’t have access to.
Thank you for your thoughtful response.

I am not saying they are wrong!! I am saying I dont know enough about them
They may be great!!

and Im pretty sure the changes are lost after reboot... unless the TC settings are in the NVRAM.

I know the QOS will stay

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

nice script, but I am having a hard time grasping the concept, as speed testing on the router does not equal same measures of speed testing from a client or am i doing something wrong?

I guess this is beyond amateur hour as this question is too novice to be answered by even an uneducated guess.

What are you seeing??

Is the router faster or slower??
What are the values??

Some general info here

well when ever I run spdmerlin my speed test results from the router are significantly less than speed test run by the client. My question is how is this script helpful to QoS bandwidth measurements, if the speed test are significantly smaller than ones conducted from clients? since this script relies on measurements produced by spdmerlin.

 

[SomeWhereOverTheRainBow]

for example here is a list of speed test conducted by spdmerlin

here is an example speed test done on ookla from a client,

Follow up to testing...

The only settings that stay after reboot are the QOS settings.

They can be put back in the WebUI
