    spdMerlin spdMerlin - Automated speedtests with graphs

    Quick question to @Jack Yaz: would you expect the speedtest.net tests this script runs to respect configured QoS limits? I'm guessing this is not specific to the plugin itself :) rather, said differently: is network traffic originating from processes on the router itself constrained by the same...

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

    All-knowing QoS people! Please see my post https://www.snbforums.com/threads/is-qos-broken.62798/ thanks.

    Is QoS broken?

    Is QoS broken in the latest firmware, at least for the RT-AX88U in my case? (latest firmware = @RMerlin 386.16_B1) I've tested three use-cases, each using speedtest.net: Upload/download from a wired client Upload/download from a Wi-Fi connected client Upload/download from the router itself...

    IPv6 and DNSSEC broken to 384.15 or 384.16_a2 with Cloudflare-DOT

    I too have been observing some strange results with Cloudflare DoT - have previously used this setup without issue, yet a few days ago I've started having problems (has taken me a while to post!). This has been using 384.16_A2 and B1. At first I thought it was an interaction with IPv6 causing...

    Inclusion of AiMesh web GUI from ZenWifi?

    I stumbled across the attached just now (while Googling for something entirely different!) - an updated AiMesh GUI that's included within the Asus ZenWifi firmware - something I think everyone who uses AiMesh on their routers will agree is missing.. the current AiMesh config feels like an...

    USB and swap file - performance consideration?

    Horses for courses :) though I have to say I agree - keep things simple / as designed and you know where you stand. Which is what brought me to Merlin = fixes and tweaks as opposed to wholesale additions. My interest in this area has been simply for the lightweight add-ons Connmon and spdMerlin...

    Web interface corrupt, requires regular full clear-cache refresh

    Not a Firefox user I'm afraid, though it was the same in Safari (so more than just a single browser issue).

    Web interface corrupt, requires regular full clear-cache refresh

    As follow-up, I've been accessing the interface via the same FQDN as used in the SSL certificate = no security warning = no more interface layout issues/errors etc. Normally my <my_ddns_name>@asuscomm.com address wouldn't be reachable from within my internal network (routed out and then back...

    Web interface corrupt, requires regular full clear-cache refresh

    No, one from LetsEncrypt, though I am accessing via a URL that's not on the cert so am getting a security error on first access. I'll try using the external FQDN (thanks).

    Traffic Analyser - how accurate?

    Are we saying the same is true for the QoS - WAN/LAN Bandwidth Monitor (regardless as to whether or not QoS is enabled)?

    Web interface corrupt, requires regular full clear-cache refresh

    I use Chrome on MacOS. I regularly find the web interface requires a full refresh (holding Shift down while refreshing) due to layout issues. This is not an occasional issue, feels like 1-in-20 pages visited, perhaps more. Right now I'm using a AX88U, however this was the same with my previous...

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

    In the case of a AiMesh setup, I presume QoS functionality takes place exclusively on the master router and with no direct bearing on the nodes? Has anyone noticed any side effects with using QoS (either with or without this script) alongside AiMesh? Having had previous issues with AiMesh (slow...

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

    Working through your math, so it's clear to everyone including me! Your internet connection is 100/40 (either actual line sync or what you pay for!) You've done a speedtest.net or similar, which reports the usable bandwidth to be around 95/37 (roughly 95% of the above which is around what you...

    USB and swap file - performance consideration?

    I'm inclined to agree with you - I'm sure the router has in most cases more than enough RAM to carry out it's tasks - assuming you are not pushing this envelope with add-ons. Some questions: With a swap file enabled, presumably it will only be used once the RAM is full / to offload low...

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

    Several hours later = clients regained access (IPv4 name resolution) of asuswrt-merlin.net even with DoT (Cloudfare) enabled. Several further hours later = router now can successfully check for updates. = a) coincidental resolution problem? or b) more likely a case of a cached record somewhere...

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

    Seems this is on the right lines, though I think it's highlighted a bug elsewhere, as follows: I briefly enabled/disabled IPv6, a number of times using a variety of options, including static and the setting of a manual DNS server (all via the interface I should add) = quickly realised IPv6 was...

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

    Possible issue with the firmware update check: "Unable to connect to the update server." (AX88U)

    Traffic Analyser - how accurate?

    I think I remember previously hardware acceleration could impact on the accuracy/reliability of this data. Yet on the AX88U this is no an option to enable/disable hw acceleration but instead decided automatically (eg. mine currently reporting as "Runner: Enabled - Flow Cache: Enabled" as I've...

    % of DHCP pool in use?

    Explains why I can’t find it then! (must have been on something else I’ve used previously for DHCP duties)

    Double-NAT vs. bridge mode - performance?

    Hmm interesting, thanks, hadn't given any thought to h/w acceleration.
