    ping issues and trouble setting fqcodel on RT-AC86U (AC2900)?

    cake-autorate has undergone quite a lot of further development since you wrote the port. The latest code is in the 'testing' branch and includes several new features like automatic reflector rotation in dependence upon comparison between reflectors relating to their baselines and deviation from...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    Can you login on IRC (OpenWrt)? Can chat in real-time then. That's getting triggered as per: https://github.com/lynxthecat/cake-autorate/blob/77a018bb44911696252a47272d05c914e53e7c44/cake-autorate.sh#L784 Can you post config to pastebin?

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    Happy to help. Absolutely no reason that I can think of why this couldn't be made to work on Asus Merlin, and I can't imagine it even requiring that much alteration to be made to work. Perhaps someone could try downloading the script and accompanying config file and seeing what happens when...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.1.1

    Anyone interested in helping to test and/or port my bash CAKE-aurorate script for Asus Merlin for those who have variable bandwidth connections like LTE or Starlink? The core functionality is pretty well tested and settled now. https://github.com/lynxthecat/CAKE-autorate

    Cake problems on RT-AC86U & my 5G/LTE ISP

    Probably a good choice. Don't pay too much attention to the synthetic waveform test. It runs over only a short time. What really matters is that you can use your connection for the low latency applications you need. Low latency gaming will never be great on mobile connections. But VOIP, Teams...

    Cake problems on RT-AC86U & my 5G/LTE ISP

    Well @eraserheadhair that's a good sign. So you can try installing those packages via Entware and then downloading and running my script and seeing what error message(s) get reported. To work out: dl_if=ifb-wg-pbr # download interface ul_if=wan # upload interface you can run 'tc...

    Cake problems on RT-AC86U & my 5G/LTE ISP

    A fair number of individuals now successfully use my CAKE-autorate script on OpenWrt to facilitate the use of CAKE on variable rate connections like LTE or Starlink. See this OpenWrt thread. I think (well hope) my script could be made to work in Asus Merlin with next to no adaptation. And I am...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.3.2 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

    @dave14305 that is indeed a positive and reliable testimonial and shows how work like what you have been doing on this thread gives rise to meaningful improvements for the benefit of many. Nice work!

    AX-58U Auto Wan Reconnect - Impossible?

    @RickySnoots did you see readme here: https://github.com/lynxthecat/maintain-wan-lease Let me know if I can help at all. This is for sure worth trying to see if it fixes your issue. I think there is a good prospect it will. Step by step would be something like enable scripts in the GUI. Then...

    AX-58U Auto Wan Reconnect - Impossible?

    I think the second linked script above (which I wrote) is likely to solve your issue in an elegant manner. Asus really need to just implement an equivalent in their own firmware since the wan lease release/renew behaviour seems broken. This only manifests for flaky connections/modems on which...

    Cake lowers the bandwith 95% anyway?

    I think the AX86U should be able to handle these rates? Otherwise dialing down a bit to ensure CPU is not saturated seems like a good idea. Having consistently low latency is far more beneficial for the overall experience than a few extra megabits per second on a speed test or a slightly...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.3.2 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

    The issue with using a VPN is that CAKE has to have visibility of the individual flows to be able to properly apply flow fairness. If you apply CAKE on 'wan', then it just sees one encrypted flow to a single IP address or multiple such flows in the case of multiple VPNs. And potentially also...

    Cake lowers the bandwith 95% anyway?

    Great, then why not use CAKE and keep the latency low despite saturation.

    Cake lowers the bandwith 95% anyway?

    Hmm. I think in your position I would still want to use CAKE to prevent that level of bufferbloat. That is if your router can handle it at this rate?

    Cake lowers the bandwith 95% anyway?

    Out of curiosity, what do you get on the waveform bufferbloat test? Could you post a link?
  17. Lynx

    Cake lowers the bandwith 95% anyway?

    Ah! Thanks. So @taffeys seems like you are just disabling CAKE and bufferbloat is not an issue for your connection.

    Cake settings for only upload speed

    Why not just: tc qdisc change root dev $interface cake bandwidth ${shaper_rate_kbps}Kbit I suppose the latter won't update the GUI?

    Cake lowers the bandwith 95% anyway?

    If I understand correctly, and @dave14305 can correct me if I am wrong, the 'automatic' setting has no effect in CAKE. You can see whatever has actually been set by the GUI by issuing the command 'tc qdisc ls' in the terminal. I think 'automatic' is a little misleading there because it suggests...
