FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.5.1 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

[irfan44]

Well I can very sadly say that I am saying goodbye to Flexqos after many years of joy.
My AX88U Pro starts freezing after few hours of installing Flexqos. I have tried on all available fws since I bought the router.
Can't even login when it freezes

What firmware give you the issues?
3004 or 3006?

Are you using any additional add-ons (Skynet etc...) and do you have AIProtection enabled?

3006

No additional scripts but AiProtection is enabled

I have to restart it to get another couple of hours before it starts to freeze again. CPU and RAM usage remains normal

So once you remove Flex the router stops freezing?

 

[irfan44]

Yes. I just have to remove Flexqos and reboot. Then everything goes normal

 

[ExtremeFiretop]

Yes. I just have to remove Flexqos and reboot. Then everything goes normal

That's good to know. Thanks for providing the extra detail.

I'm wondering if that's the same for all other 3006 based WiFi 6 devices? Or if this is specific only to your device for some reason.

I have a 3006 router, but it's a WiFi 7 router which means it's already blocked from installation for FlexQoS, but if someone else with a 3006 WiFi 6 router confirms this behavior, it may be time to put a hard block on all 3006 based devices.

Otherwise if others aren't having the issue, the remaining question would be what is different for your device?

Alternatively, if you remove all the iptables rules in the FlexQoS GUI, does the issue return?

I have a WiFi6 router with latest 3.0.0.6 asuswrt-merlin fw with Flex enabled & I also have custom iptables setup. All running smoothly!

This reminds of a similar issue I was having when setting up a streaming iptable rule that was causing the router to crash (fix below):

Okay perfect that's the data point I need to know it's something specific with his device. Else it was going to be real simple and I'd just block them all. But considering it's still works as expected for WiFi 6 devices, now we can just focus on his specific instance

You want me to remove default rules also?
As I haven't added any custom ones

Yes, please.

Just installed again. Removed all IP table rules. Waiting on now
Is this right

Is it still crashing after a few hours running Flex with no rules?

It's working fine now without any iptables rules.

Well, I couldn't wait to test it... My bad, family
One thing I noticed is that it won't trigger a start/stop immediately after setting the schedule. I mean, it's 4AM right now. I set QoS to disable at 1AM and enable at 8AM. It didn't stopped after I set the schedule, only manually.

Another picky thing I suggest is the possibility to have multiple schedules possibility (or at least two). The main goal is for weekdays and weekends (I think two schedules is sufficient, regarding that kind of days).

Also, I haven't tested it, but when turning on/off does it flush cache? Does it restart firewall? So all the clients and connections are updated on the fly?

Thank you once again

Can you try again? I believe I've addressed the concerns. Good catches!

1. It should now flush the conntrack table if selected, as well as restart the firewall
2. It should allow you to enter multiple schedules
3. It should trigger immediately after setting a schedule.

I would recommend uninstalling completely after the last "alpha" install and running the below to do a fresh/clean install of the new version:

/usr/sbin/curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AMTM-OSR/FlexQoS/Start_Stop/flexqos.sh" -o /jffs/addons/flexqos/flexqos.sh --create-dirs && chmod +x /jffs/addons/flexqos/flexqos.sh && sh /jffs/addons/flexqos/flexqos.sh -install

I've been testing since Friday and, at a first glance, it seems all went ok

Hey @maghuro
Just following up to see if you identified any concerns or issues while testing over the last week?

Let me know!

It's working fine now without any iptables rules.

@irfan44 Any updates since removing the iptable rules?
My suggestion would be re-adding the iptable rules one by one to identify which gives you the problem (if you haven't already)

Thanks!

As someone once said: no news is good news.
I've been trying to catch something to talk about but hey, I haven't found anything
Everything is working smoothly with my two schedules , one for weekdays and the other one for weekends.

The only picky thing I have is when I want to change one particular schedule, I have to configure them from scratch. But that will happen once in a year, so that's not even a issue.

Everything is smooth!

Thanks once again for your work

Used without ip table rules for some days and it worked without any problems.
I have done a WPS reset last night to test from scratch. Will install Flexqos today and start testing.
Will let you know about the results in a couple of days
