It is with great pleasure I can announce a couple items:
  • We have an Alpha candidate for testing against the latest beta @RMerlin 386.2 firmware
  • I/we are very happy to welcome @dave14305 onboard the Cake bandwagon. He has done all of the updates to the alpha script.
  • We were early testers of the 386.2 firmware from @RMerlin and was a sudden but pleasant surprise to hear that there is/was a possibility of Cake getting into the main firmware builds. As past users of Cake knew, getting builds was a challenge for the team.
  • I am still learning as we go along from the more experienced ones around here. I owe you all immense thanks!
Thanks for all those who assisted before. Now for the stuff you have been chomping at the bit for:

Note: This is ALPHA
  • Currently supports ASUS HND models running Merlin firmware (386.2 and above)
  • Preliminary support for firmware detection to allow for 384 installs to the read-only branch (which includes previous Cake Entware installs)
  • Added GUI interface to 386.2 installs for ease of customizations (thanks @dave14305)
  • Cake CLI updates to support changes
  • Add-on now adds/edits/updates the /jffs/configs/cake-qos.conf.add file
  • Add logic in case Cake is not enabled in firmware
  • Add uninstall of CakeQOS-Merlin 1.0 components during install
  • Cleanup legacy files from 2.0 branch
  • Handle installs for users still on 386.1 or lower
  • Remove old cfg file on install
Hope you enjoy the latest Cake enhancements and HUGE thanks once again to @dave14305 & @RMerlin for making this happen!

Alpha Install (all supported HW/firmware):

mkdir -p /jffs/addons/cake-qos && /usr/sbin/curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ttgapers/cakeqos-merlin/alpha/cake-qos.sh" -o "/jffs/addons/cake-qos/cake-qos" && chmod 755 /jffs/addons/cake-qos/cake-qos && sh /jffs/addons/cake-qos/cake-qos install

Known Issues
  • If you were running the 1.0.8 script, you need to stop cake-qos first in case of a conflict with ifb9eth0 and the firmware ifb4eth0. This is a subtle change to get in uniformity with the interface used by @RMerlin in the main firmware.

Installed this and couldn't even access the router from webgui, no internet, nothing worked. Had to do the factory reset using the wps+power. I didn't disable QOS and had cake on, maybe that's what caused it?

I was running 386.2 beta built-in cake. Didn't have 1.0.8 installed.

Tried again after factory reset, works fine.

Yes this makes sense for sure.
 
Works very well, I'm having similar results in dslreports to 386.2 alpha. I was getting worse results with 386.2 beta, bufferbloat always A, sometime(very rare A+) but quality C.

Now Quality is A, sometimes B. I don't know why quality drops from constant A+ with QOS OFF to C-A with Cake/Adaptive QOS.
 
This may come off as a silly question. But I wanted to ask, any changes made, and applied on this tab. Do I need to stop, and restart QoS, for these changes to be applied?
