FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.2.4 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

[cplay]

Those with issues on dev, are you using the fq_codel switch ? If so try turning it off and see if things stabilise.

I will try and then report back.

dev on fq codel on 384.18 was very good for me, it’s only since 386.1 that I’ve noticed the issues.

I doubt its anything dave has changed and is most likely ASUS changing something.

did you update spdmerlin to include firewall restart like Dave did with flex?

 

[raion969]

@Jack Yaz I ran the stable version of Flexqos and still have these big problem since Updating to 386.1.

 

[Jack Yaz]

Not yet, no

 

[Treadler]

386.1 + FlexQos develop + fqcodel working fine here.

 

[raion969]

I have to say, i never had that bad internet connection/jittery since upgrading to WRTMerlin!

Why does queue discipline not visible in QOS page?

 

[roboots21]

Why does queue discipline not visible in QOS page?

You have to A) be on the development branch and B) click 'customize' on the FlexQOS tab. That will allow the queue discipline to be checked between 'default' and 'fq_codel'.

 

[D_Day]

Is there anyway to check if the priority list in QOS is actually set to what is showing on the GUI, i have it set for VOIP then Work from home followed by Gaming etc but for some reason gaming appears to be getting top priority and when games are updated for instance the network is grinding to a halt with just that download taking all the bandwidth.
I don’t think it’s a problem with this addon as it was happening before i installed it, it was actually the reason I installed.
Any help would be appreciated.

@roboots21 what is even default before we hat zhe options codel sfq_codel and fq_codel??

@roboots21 what is even default before we hat zhe options codel sfq_codel and fq_codel??

I'm not sure. That's a question the dev will have to answer.

@roboots21 what is even default before we hat zhe options codel sfq_codel and fq_codel??

Default is the SFQ option, that is now the only option for adaptive QoS on the new firmware. So selecting default will just use SFQ, selecting fq_codel on the develop branch of FlexQoS will use that instead, although you’d have to ask @dave14305 for the expert answer as to what and how it is implemented!

 

[DanNuke86]

AX86U here on 386.1. Did a nuclear reset and started from scratch.

Using the develop branch for FlexQoS (1.1.1) and fq_codel option selected.

no issues to report, looking at stats from conmon and spdmerlin, latency and jitter is looking really good and haven’t had any random big spikes over what I’d normally expect.

speed tests on spdmerlin show my connection is consistently performing better, particularly at peak times where so far, I’m seeing approx 100mb better on the d/l performance during peak times.

had some separate issues with the add-ons mounting (now fixed) but this firmware setup is hands down the best I’ve had so far. Huge thanks to all concerned devs!

 

[dave14305]

The Default Queue Discipline option uses whatever is setup on the main QoS page. If you're still running 384 firmware, this could be sfq, codel or fq_codel. If you're on 386, it means only sfq. So if you hate your performance under 386, it could be due to losing fq_codel.

If you choose the experimental fq_codel option within FlexQoS, you replace some of the standard ASUS Adaptive QoS hierarchy (htb + htb + sfq) with htb + fq_codel. If it doesn't work well for gaming, set it back to Default. I don't play games, so I have no experience with how it might impact your jitter or not.

There are known issues documented in the 386.1 thread about Adaptive QoS not starting properly on certain models. Be sure you're not a victim of that problem. I've not noticed it myself, but if you can't get vanilla Adaptive QoS working on 386.1, FlexQoS isn't going to solve underlying firmware problems, since FlexQoS relies on Adaptive QoS working properly.

If you have real problems and want advice, please provide some data. If it's a script problem, the output of flexqos debug might point it out. Or syslogs showing FlexQoS startup.

It doesn't work for me. After I enable fq-codel it still uses sfq...

ac86u 386.1 + flexqos 1.1.1 dev.

[JohnSmith]

386.1 + FlexQos develop + fqcodel working fine here.

Just switched over to FlexQOS V1.1.1 Dev with fq_codel on my RT-AX88U, with V386.1 Final, with 30+ devices, gaming, streaming, IOT, Work from Home, multiple users, etc. Will start testing gaming over the next few days.

 

[chris.at]

In my setup FlexQoS is working perfectly with 386.1 as it did before with 384.19 on my AC68U. No problems with multiple voice/video collaboration tools in parallel in our family. Just checked tc qdisc now and fq_codel is still there, A+/A/A+ at dslreports speedtest with bufferbloat below +20ms as it was with the old firmware and jitter of 3ms with cloudflares speedtest. No idea why some of you have such problems with QoS in your setup in general and this gorgeous script in detail.

Working very well here.

Does the bandwidth limiter work for one device only?
Not for me.
