FlexQoS FlexQoS categorizes LAN file transfers as something else

[elenhil]

Hi there! I've a curious problem: when I try to copy something from my notebook to my desktop over WiFi (so, well within my LAN), FlexQoS regards this as Learn-form-Home traffic. Can anyone please suggest how to narrow it down still further? Like I said, filtering by local IP and class is still not enough. Does Windows file copy even have specific ports it operates through? Should file copying even appear at FlexQoS' list of tracked connections?

FlexQoS regards this as Learn-form-Home traffic.

Where does it show this? In the graph? On upload, download, or both graphs?

LAN to LAN traffic should not be subjected to Adaptive QoS restrictions. Your older posts suggest you have an old AC66U router, which might behave differently when hardware acceleration is enabled and creates the vlan1 WAN interface. There were scenarios with Traditional QoS where LAN traffic was being seen on VLAN1 and being subjected to upload traffic bandwidth limits, which was a bug in Traditional QoS at the time. I’ve not heard of that with Adaptive QoS before.

RT-AC68U Traditional QoS UL/DL limit values are broken?

I've recently dirty flashed 386.5 over 386.4 and noticed my download speed had deteriorated (~102mbps reduced to ~18mbps via Ookla) but the built in WebUI Internet Speed test is giving me expected results (102mbps/19mbps). I have Traditional QoS enabled with CTF disabled and this was previously...

It shows this in both graphs. And yes, I am using that very model. It posed something of a problem because I rated Learn-from-Home higher than Web Surfing, and that file copying business seemed to interfere with browsing. I suspected it was due to QoS.

Learn-from-Home should always be lower than Video and Web Surfing, to avoid unexpected outcomes. I don’t think it will solve your problem, but it would be interesting to see where the traffic shows up once you lower its priority to the bottom of the list.

Thank you. Putting Learn-from-Home below Web Surfing seems to have solved the issue. I no longer see this traffic in the QoS graph.
