    [Release] FreshJR Adaptive QOS (Improvements / Custom Rules / and Inner workings)

    I'd advise having a good think about the pro's/con's for excluding a regularly scheduled speed test from QoS - not saying I know the definitive answer, but worth thinking about! To Exclude from QoS: + more accurate result, - could impact network performance (=the very reason a user has QoS...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    It will certainly be interesting to see both: If Asus have now fixed the glaring QoS-ignoring-all-wifi-traffic bug they recently introduced (at least across a number of models, if not all) otherwise this makes any QoS improvements somewhat redundant! Where this update to the much-neglected QoS...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    This is a very valid point. However, my purpose/interest in QoS is to protect real-time sensitive services (in my case VoIP) from background data transfer services, elsewhere on my network, that will regularly be pulling large quantities of data from other sites (these bursts will max out the...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    I always get an upload graph that negativity slopes, usually with a couple of spikes along the way, starting at a value a number of multiples of my actual upload link speed, with the resulting average varies but again often above what is even theoretically possible for my connection. The...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    I noticed a failure of the routers NTP server last night, as in I have it configured to intercept client NTP requests and various IoT, controllers etc that came online were erroring with time-related issues across multiple reboots = disabled the interception setting and everything worked again...

    Is QoS broken?

    What’s the simplest method to do this please? I’m a big fan of logging issues with manufacturers - you can’t complain about X/Y/Z being broken and never fixed in forums etc unless you actually report the bugs formally.. I’m not expecting immediate resolution, or a personalised response from a...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    The much discussed new graph (current upload/download speed on the main page) is, in my opinion, a nice visual add-on that @RMerlin has introduced = a good use of page space, thanks. But I can't believe the amount of airtime and chatter this is now causing.. colours, scale, Mbs vs/ MB/s etc...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - Automated speedtests with graphs

    For the record, no complaints from me as-is whatsoever - I think this is a great plugin that adds value - my curiosity was purely understanding how it works/interacts with QoS to allow me to schedule and interpret the results accordingly. Keep up the good work, thanks.

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - Automated speedtests with graphs

    Thanks. Interesting, so potentially a "30 second blip" every half an hour on an otherwise QoS-managed network.. something for users to be aware of perhaps. Personally, I find this add-on of most value to track bandwidth availability over time (and in this case actually advantageous for it not to...

    AiMesh evolution - ZenWifi - 3.0.0.386.x firmware branch

    In part yes, though if you re-read my post, they can (could) certainly help achieve a similar result. The Roaming Assistant, as I understand it, is a blunt instrument: kicks off a client it thinks could be better connected in the hope the client does better when it reconnects. What I'm hoping...

    AiMesh evolution - ZenWifi - 3.0.0.386.x firmware branch

    A question to those using ZenWifi devices which I believe runs a 3.0.0.386.x branch of the Asus firmware and in which has a more evolved version of the AiMesh configuration.. Is there the concept of making certain clients "sticky" to certain nodes? This is something I feel is sorely missed in...

    AiMesh - AX92U firmware upgrade 3.0.0.4.384_8681

    Agreed and this is exactly why I haven't upgraded! In terms of AiMesh, I do still consider it a work-in-progress offering, especially in terms of interoperability across different models (despite this being one of its key sales pitches) - there's no way Asus have fully tested various...

    AiMesh - AX92U firmware upgrade 3.0.0.4.384_8681

    I'm currently using a AX88U on 384.16_B1, along with a couple of AX92U's on 3.0.0.4.384_7977. AiMesh seems to be working better than previously, and I'm putting this possibly down to the fact both these Merlin and oem firmwares use the same GPL release (certainly can't hurt, right?). I notice...

    Three random tips

    Having fully reset and reconfigured my router far too many times over the past few days, three random things I've learnt that I thought I'd share: LetsEncrypt has rate limits (https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/) including the number of times it will issue a certificate to an identically...

    [Beta] Asuswrt-Merlin 384.16 beta (and 384.13_5) are available

    Ah so this is new(ish) then.. I discovered it for the first time the other day, didn't think I'd seen it before!

    Is QoS broken?

    So while I have the attention of some QoS-knowledgable minds :) and as we wait patiently for a fix from Asus, a quick to aid my understanding of the implementation please: When Adaptive QoS is fully working.. in a test environment, with only a single client connect via wired ethernet (ie...

    Is QoS broken?

    Definitely did a full reset and manual configuration. For one reason or another, not related to QoS I may add, I've done this around 8 times over the past week, have got it down to a fine art! :)

    Inclusion of AiMesh web GUI from ZenWifi?

    Good point/spot! Similar to my other thread.. I look forward to Asus developers getting some releases out!! :)

    Is QoS broken?

    Thanks for the confirmation, at least I know now. In that case I'm now eagerly awaiting the next Asus firmware release, to then in turn be incorporated into a Merlin release!

    SITE SURVEY?

    For others that might stumble across this.. \x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00 is indeed a hidden network, if you have a AiMesh node that is configured with a dedicated backhaul radio (the AX92U for example) this is achieved by it creating it's own hidden SSID, in which case it will be on a common...
