    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    This also produces a blank file. I found the issue; having a blank line in the whitelist.txt file.

    AdBlocking with combined hosts file

    I'm on an Asus RT-AC68 and for some reason this line just produces a blank hosts.blocked file: # remove whitelisted entries in temp and write final file, remove temp file cat $dir/whitelist.txt | sed $'s/\r$//' | grep -vf - $dir/temp > $dir/hosts.blocked There's no error and the rest of the...

    QOS causing high pings

    For my ping testing I typically ping my Internet gateway (first public IP shown in a traceroute) or one the public dns servers like 4.2.2.2. I'd actually only need 3 categories, VIP, default and bulk that can be slowed with no real impact.

    QOS causing high pings

    I can't get the standard/Traditional QOS working right; seeing high pings and packetloss with a single FTP upload. Even without an upload I'm seeing packetloss while connected to my work VPN. Neither was an issue with Adaptive mode. So maybe it's my setup; you see anything wrong?

    QOS causing high pings

    If ping isn't a good way of testing, what do you suggest? My two latency sensitive applications are VOIP and gaming which aren't very easy to run tests and quantify. The reason I enabled Adaptive QOS yesterday is because I was on a VOIP call while something was downloading in the background...

    QOS causing high pings

    I ran with QOS turned off for a week and saw no issues. Then I turned on Adaptive QOS (not traditional) and immediately saw issue #2 but it was worse than before as no device Wireless or LAN could connect to the router even though all the lights were blinking like normal. A power cycle...

    QoS with latest Merlin FW on AC68U -- OneDrive sync

    How did your testing with Traditional mode go? I've also seen high latency when QOS is enabled.

    QOS causing high pings

    I just tried resetting to factory defaults, loading the new firmware (378.52) and resetting to defaults again. I then restored my prior configuration via http://www.snbforums.com/threads/user-nvram-save-restore-utility.19521/ and I'm still seeing the same QOS issue as well as issue #3. I've...

    QOS causing high pings

    I'm having several issues with QOS but one that's easy to reproduce is with ping times. With no real traffic my pings are 10-30ms; when there's traffic that's being actively shaped by QOS my ping shots up to 200+ms with the occasional 1+ sec response and a few timeouts. To simplify testing I...
