    FlexQoS FlexQoS - Setting up a Multicast IPTV box

    I think it's solved now. It seems that applying QoS to a multicast stream is not going to work however, I found settings from another thread here posted by @brummygit and now the streaming is working perfectly fine. I maxed out my connection and switched to the BT 4K channel for ultimate...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS - Setting up a Multicast IPTV box

    I wonder should I try DNS Director first before messing with QoS settings? It looks like it will allow me to set a specific DNS server for LAN clients.

    FlexQoS FlexQoS - Setting up a Multicast IPTV box

    Funny you should say that, but I actually have AdGuard running too, and I always use Quad9. I'd rather not use BT's DNS servers if at all possible, but you're saying I'm better using that it should automatically priorituse IPTV traffic? I just assumed the SmartHub (ISP router) was using some...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS - Setting up a Multicast IPTV box

    Thank you for that! Very helpful. I'm just tinkering with the iptables now. I can test it easily by running a Speedtest which causes the picture to freeze and stutter, so I should know if I get it resolved :)

    FlexQoS FlexQoS - Setting up a Multicast IPTV box

    It looks as if the IPTV box traffic is being tagged as web traffic, though I could very well be wrong. I haven't actually tested the box yet to see if default settings would resolve it, but if it is being tagged as web traffic then I doubt it.

    FlexQoS FlexQoS - Setting up a Multicast IPTV box

    Thanks. It's an Asus AX-56U, so one of the older Merlin capable routers. I'm also on 900/110 Mbps. I have set the manual QoS Speed to 90% of this as roughly advised on the setup instructions. Thanks.

    FlexQoS FlexQoS - Setting up a Multicast IPTV box

    Hi folks, I'm just getting started with FlexQoS, so appreciate your patience with me :) I am having issues with streaming multicast channels on my IPTV box. More specifically, it is EE TV (formerly BT TV) in the UK. The channels are working fine, but every so soften, I get freezing or...

    Diversion Diversion 5.1.3 - the Router Ad-Blocker, May 09, 2024

    Hi folks, Noob question alert, but does Diversion have a GUI? I've just started trying it after my AdGuard Home stopped working. I can't even get it to re-install properly as it will disappear from my router when rebooting. Diversion seems to work fine however, it would be great to be able to...

    Possible DNS and/or Routing Issue Ping/Latency Slow

    After a factory reset and a system restore, I've finally got it working fine! The only exception is that I will need to install AdGuard again. I actually think this might have been the issue all along, though I can't explain why it suddenly just started happening. Usually a change would cause...

    Possible DNS and/or Routing Issue Ping/Latency Slow

    Thanks! I didn't know it was set like that by default. Regardless, it didn't resolve my issue. I think it's sorted now. I will post an update shortly. Thanks.

    Possible DNS and/or Routing Issue Ping/Latency Slow

    Thanks. Oddly enough, DNS Director was actually enabled and the User defined addresses had 4 entries, all with 8.8.8.8. I don't recall ever adding them. I tried removing them and disabling it, but still no luck. I think I might have to go ahead and try a factory reset.

    Possible DNS and/or Routing Issue Ping/Latency Slow

    Haha Ghana?! WTF! No it's not that bad lol. I'm not with Vodafone thankfully. I pretty much never use my own ISP DNS. I almost always use Quad9 which I have never had an issue with.

    Possible DNS and/or Routing Issue Ping/Latency Slow

    Yes I have, thanks. Something seems to be overriding these settings. I am suspecting it's something to do with AdGaurd DNS but I can't be sure. Disabling it doens't solve the issue but I think there's more going on there. Factory resetting is of course an option, but I spent that long...

    Possible DNS and/or Routing Issue Ping/Latency Slow

    Hi folks, I recently seem to be suffering from an issue which is causing a lot of latency in my network. I intitially thought it was my new laptop howvever on further inspection, it seems to be my entire home network. If I ping www.google.com from a terminal or command line, pings are taking...
