    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    I cannot connect directly to the modem, until I have a day where my home is empty. It's the results with my new ASUS RT-AC88U connected.

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Yes, my BQM looks very similar to that but with much worse latency peaks during this morning. I deleted my old BQM as upgrading router messed with the results (had to re-enable the ICMP setting). Here is a link the my latest BQM...

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Sorry I just woke up for my jobs late shift. I apologise for the confusion. My current router which is what I recently upgraded to: RT-AX88U is currently running stock firmware. But the router I made this post about, was the RT-AC66U_B1 which was running Merlin. I upgraded routers a few days...

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Saying something is ridiculous if it does in fact make my situation worse, is not an insult. Sounds like it was just blanket advice, that may or may not work depending on the persons setup. The router this post was about was the ASUS RT-AC66U_B1 with Merlin installed. I tried Bandwidth Limiter...

    That's fair, I guess anyone who games should boycott Virgin Media then. They deserve to lose money due to their terrible gaming performance. Considering younger generations like myself are big into gaming, as we become the majority of customers - this will only become worse. The fact that many...

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    What makes them inaccurate? Yeah they're stress testing my connection more than most real world situations, but that's the point - it's a benchmark. It's the worst case scenario. If reducing my bandwidth too low results in the worse case scenario being even worse than before, then me downloading...

    Fair enough, thanks for letting me know.

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    His advice was not to experiment with download/upload speed but decrease mine to 25Mbit download and 5Mbit upload. Tried with different QOS settings... resulted in WORSE bufferbloat score than before. Therefore it was objectively bad advice... Nowhere have I insulted anyone on this forum. I...

    It's not an argument, it's a debate. As far as I'm aware all router manufacturers regularly update their Firewalls to protect against modern network threats. I fail to see why TrendMicro is needed, if router manufacturers are doing their job correctly.

    What has CAKE got to do with that guys bad advice? Man wanted me to reduce my download to 25Mbit and upload to 5Mbit. Tried with both Adaptive and Traditional QOS - worsens bufferbloat when bandwidth is too low.

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Well explain how people use other routers without TrendMicro then? As far as I'm aware, no other router manufacturer like Netgear or TP-Link need to rely on a 3rd party company like TrendMicro.

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

    Doubt the latency is any better than the RT-AX88U considering they use the same CPU.

    I don't have GeForce NOW or Cake, as I'm on stock firmware. I'm guessing my RT-AX88U won't be much different to your RT-AX86U, so Merlin should have the same options for it?

    So I just install Merlin and CAKE will be an option with no additional changes needed?

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    That's ridiculous advice. Not only are you asking me to reduce my bandwidth down significantly, to less than 15% of my available bandwidth - but after trying that it does absolutely nothing, in fact I achieve WORSE bufferbloat score if I reduce bandwidth too much.

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    Huh? I was worried TrendMicro could have a data breach. Don't need their "protection" anyways, routers have something called a Firewall... don't need TrendMicro. How is it easy to implement? As far as I'm aware, I need a Windows PC and need to type special scripts into a program. I don't own a...

    ASUS QOS does NOTHING! Help wanted [Rant]

    From previous posts asking for advice on topics like; QOS, SQM, bufferbloat, latency spikes, etc - I was advised to upgrade my router. I was using an ASUS RT-AC66U_B1, which had Merlin installed (previous owner sold it to me with Merlin). I just recently upgraded to an RT-AX88U, stock firmware...

    Is my BQM bugged? https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality/share/d730850b97a84d4e9279475edebf4f3bfb873b90

    Thanks for the reply. Looking at your BQM, you have a very stable and clean connection. Your bufferbloat results look really bad but that would be fixed with QOS/SQM. That gives me hope as maybe most of my issues are from my Virgin Media connection. I'm a signed up to Think Broadband so that I...
