    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    Cheers. What about the MPU and Mode?

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    Well duh, that’s the point of a QOS or SQM. Keep latency low whilst the connection is loaded. Do I need to explain to you that 2 + 2 = 4? ASUS Merlin comes with CAKE, it’s not a wrong choice. Everyone on here recommends CAKE, I choose CAKE and that’s now wrong? Firstly, you said it yourself...

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    It’s not pointless at all since the whole point of me upgrading my home network was to improve my online gaming experience. Claiming fibre connections are free from bufferbloat is objectively false. I don’t understand why you reply to threads without giving answers. I’ve asked for the correct...

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    How is that I’ve watched people on YouTube achieve A* then? Also, something cannot be proven to be objectively better without testing. So how exactly are we supposed to verify efficacy? Give me a test website or software I can use to configure this crap. I’m sick of tweaking numbers with zero...

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    Okay I’m gonna need more help on this. It’s making me pull my hair out. I’ve experimented by lowering my download speed down to to 200-ish range and bufferbloat latency spikes STILL have not improved. I don’t know if I have my WAN Packet Overhead set wrong or done something wrong.

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    Wait, do I need to disable NAT acceleration before I enable CAKE?

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    It’s currently set to 450Mbps and that’s roughly the calculated speed my PS5 downloads games at.

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    Thanks, I’ll give this a try! Just to clarify, will using my iPhone impact results too much? Is this best only tested with an Ethernet connected PC?

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    Thank you for the reply. Can this be reliably gauged using my iPhone or do I need an Ethernet connect PC?

    Need help with setting up CAKE SQM on RT-AX88U

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I upgraded to an ASUS RT-AX88U about 8 months ago. I installed Merlin onto it and a few months later, I upgraded to a 500Mbps FTTP connection along with upgrading all my Ethernet cables to a triple shielded version. Since then, my network connection in...

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    I am invested in learning, but networking is both mathematical and scientific. It's not "an art". Numbers do not lie. What I find funny about the CNET review you like to boast about, as maybe you didn't read it, but the reviewer tests these routers in Access Point mode. What this means is, if...

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    So no metrics or measurements. Thanks for letting me know...

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    Okay then, which metrics did you test to decide the RT-AX86U is superior to the RT-AX88U? I want numbers, even if it's only Wi-Fi bandwidth or range. What metrics did you test? Due to placebo and biases, one can't rely on perception alone.

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    Well I follow the scientific method. I only purchase something for the purpose of being better, if it's objectively proven to be better. If the 86U was truly better, I would have a lower ping in CoD compared to the 88U. You could easily test this if you have both routers to hand - or better yet...

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    Nice post, but outside if your subjective opinion you didn't provide any objectively tested latency data between the two routers. There's countless reason a network can feel more responsive, latency is one but without measurements - it's all opinion.

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    Sure but CNET haven't even reviewed the RT-AX88U. So that guy claiming the RT-AX86U is superior to the RT-AX88U with regards to latency is doing so based off assumption, not objectively tested data.

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    But they haven't tested the RT-AX88U. You're basing your opinion off the assumption that it doesn't perform as good with regards to latency, simply because it's a few years older. I think the assumption that they perform the same holds more weight considering the hardware is almost the same and...

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    That's a really nifty suggestion, thank you. I'm going to check this after work. So if there's lots of time outs, does that mean there's a problem with the line like a dodgy cable or something?

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Damn, thank you for letting me know. I guess it doesn't matter how much money I throw at the issue, it won't be solved until I change to an actually good ISP rather than sticking to turd tier Virgin Media. I'll still experiment with CAKE on my RT-AX88U once I install Merlin. But it probably...

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Here is a picture of my Waveform Bufferbloat results from my work PC connected via Ethernet, with QOS and TrendMicro stuff disabled:
