    CakeQOS Cake-autorate

    Yes cake-autorate has been stable for quite a while now. And it really works on Asus Merlin - see these stats based on a log file generated by @rlj2 on Asus Merlin using a Starlink connection: ReflectorID: 1.0.0.1; N: 120 ReflectorID: 156.154.70.3; N: 118 ReflectorID: 185.228.168.10; N: 119...

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    I really think that you should rule out that the issue isn't the same one addressed by: https://github.com/lynxthecat/maintain-wan-lease The situation for which I wrote the script seems very similar - at exactly every 48 hours my modem would drop the ethernet link momentarily to trigger a...

    WAN Disconnections ASUS RT-AX86U Pro

    @SteevieWeevie I developed this: https://github.com/lynxthecat/maintain-wan-lease to maintain connection when connected with Huawei B818-263 in bridge mode.

    @Rici did you try the solution I developed and linked above?

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    @Yakumo - do you have a variable rate connection? It's only worth using cake-autorate for variable connections like LTE or Starlink. For fixed bandwidth connections it will typically not provide benefit and configured wrongly would only hurt latency (save only perhaps for providing diagnostics...

    It would certainly be possible, but I don't understand Asus Merlin well enough anymore to know how.

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    I wonder if the problem relates to the same problem that I addressed with this solution: https://github.com/lynxthecat/maintain-wan-lease

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    @rlj2 just updated his GitHub fork of cake-autorate here: https://github.com/LiveWire1968/Asus-cake-autorate This should help Asus Merlin users who want to use cake on connections with a variable bandwidth.

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    Incorrect, 2) can actually be circumvented anyway in Asus Merlin by modifying how and where cake is applied using something like the approach I set out here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/qos-script-for-vpn.74175/ Where there is a will, there is a way. But I am going to bow out of this now.

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    The following issues are orthogonal and should not be conflated: 1) your connection with your ISP giving rise to spurious latency spikes - this needs fixing by your ISP and cake or Asus Merlin has nothing to do with this; and 2) cake differentiating between individual, WireGuard-encrypted...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    Based on the foregoing, I respectfully disagree. Whilst Asus Merlin may not be as up-to-date or present as many features as OpenWrt, it benefits from powerful hardware, a more user-friendly interface, and powerful, feature-packed and commercially-backed and tuned WiFi. In your case, the fault...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    Seems to me you need to battle with Virgin Media and have them fix the underlying issues with your connection. Based on my experience with dealing with Vodafone, I recommend you skip customer service and go straight to the complaints procedure, and request back-dated compensation in your...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    I think the only thing that updating cake and/or WireGuard is going to achieve is to help cake distinguish between the encrypted flows to ensure that individual flows receive their fair share of bandwidth with respect to the overall cake bandwidth. Without this, cake treats all that is encrypted...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    I think we should take a step back for a second though. Updating cake and/or WireGuard in Asus Merlin would only help allow cake to distinguish between encrypted flows, and I'm dubious that is going to help in your position given what you have reported earlier. To be clear, if you set cake to...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    Surely cake can be updated on Asus Merlin? @dave14305 is this something that can be reasonably expected? But @privacyguy123, I think the issue here is bigger than cake not distinguishing the individual encrypted flows from each other (yes, separate cars). If you're still seeing bloat at...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    @privacyguy123 I've just asked a question on your behalf directed to one of the original cake co-authors on the OpenWrt forum: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/how-to-use-openwrt-sqm-and-vpn-on-multiple-connected-routers/79179/22?u=lynx Specifically I think you may need to get rid of the...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    No with this option you stick with the default (wan upload and ifb created for download based on wan). You just need to end up with 'flows nonat' by either tweaking the options and/or specifying custom upload parameters. And you can verify all worked well using: tc qdisc ls when logged in...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    Not sure if this GUI will allow you to specify the correct settings. Does the priority queue dropdown include the 'flows' option? If not, what options does it include? Set NAT Lookup to "No". Ultimately you want to end up with 'flows nonat' in the cake upload options. To verify this, login to...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    @dave14305 does the Asus Merlin QoS GUI enable custom upload options for cake? If so, then perhaps the easiest way to make cake work with WireGuard VPN(s) would be to override the custom upload options for cake to specify: flows nonat. @privacyguy123 those custom upload options for cake are...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    @johndoe85 here is a proposal for you. Does Asus Merlin support WireGuard right now? If so, a 'qos-start' script could be created that applies cake on wan for upload (CAKE can work with WireGuard encrypted upload packets using skb->hash preservation and so can distinguish all egress flows on...
