spdMerlin spdMerlin - Automated speedtests with graphs

[Marin]

Ok....here is the first thing I am noticing. When you go to Tools tab, this is what I see (pay attention at the tabs on the top) of the screen:

This is fine but then when when you click on the SpeedTest tab, this is what I see (again look at the tabs on the top)

Looks familiar? Yes, it is the same tab arrangement that you get from the Administrative tab. Somehow the graphs show below the Feedback tab.

However, you don't see this when clicking on ntpMerlin tab (next to SpeedTest):

No reason to be too concerned about it yet. I will reboot the router and see if the issue persists.

 

[Marin]

Could you also report your (paid for) ISP speeds too when they update? Thank you.

Just wanting to see if the router is capable of testing/reporting the higher end Gbps connections.

Certainly will do.

That is interesting! I certainly did not see that here.

Does a reboot help?

Nope, a reboot did not help. The tabs arrangement remains the same. Will wait and see if graphs generate.

 

[skeal]

Installed on AX88U had to run the opkg update and the installer again but after doing that it installed and ran. Waiting for graphs.

 

[Marin]

Are your tabs looking ok?

 

[skeal]

Clicked on the Graphs page and it takes you to Administration tabs.

 

[skeal]

I also noticed it floods the pipe and my streaming system breaks down during tests. Not sure if this can be handled by FreshJR_QOS.

 

[QuikSilver]

Are your tabs looking ok?

Interesting...mine shows correctly on my router.

 

[Marin]

Interesting...do you mind describing all the steps you followed pre and post installation? I didn't do any "opkg..." commands - simply went straight for the install curl.

 

[skeal]

I ran the installer and came over some errors. I ran opkg update and then re-ran the installer and it installed error free.

Was your Entware installation part of Diversion? Could that be part of the problem here, if it wasn't?

When was the last time a full reset to factory defaults performed on your RT-AX88U (M&M Config, please see my signature for the link)?

I only update Entware via the ep function of Diversion and not the other AMTM option- the last time I did that it messed up my Stubby so have not been brave enough to try it again.

I did a full reset and factory defaults along with M&M config according to your links, few weeks ago when 384.10 came out.

Could it possibly be an issue with the model coding since your on a 88 while L&LD and I are on a 86u? (Thinking out loud here, not a programmer by any means but trying to use my "Sherlock" skills.

Just a note that RMerlin 384.10_2 is out (and already installed on an RT-AC86U).

Small correction: the spdMerlin script I've tried was on an RT-AC68U, not my RT-AC86U (yet).

 

[bearever]

Will this script limited by external drive I/O speed? I installed similar script previously on my router and I could get ~500mbps download speed at best due to my 5400rpm hard drive I/O constraint.
