    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    You don't understand what I'm saying. I need low latency for playing music online live with 3-4 others. I can afford at most 30ms of total latency from my [microphone -> mixer -> computer -> router -> cable modem] -> rest of the world. I have had to do many experiments and testing gear to get...

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    OK, let me start with the Ubiquiti Edge router and if it's better than the current GT-AX11000. Shame; it's been a really nice workhorse.

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    I was doing a bit of research on building an OPNsense machine over the weekend. The x86 hardware doesn't have hardware CTF etc, but still will be better than an Ubiquiti at 800M-1G speeds? My main concern is minimizing latency for the bit I can control: my machine, gear and the router. Thanks...

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    The screenshot above from a Ubiquiti, but which one are you using? I wish I could find hardware-accelerated QoS (without getting enterprise hardware); even the edge router 4 maxes out speed at around 350Mbps for hw QoS (I can't remember where I read that now).

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    What makes you say that? I thought I had tested that it was limiting another device…

    No.

    Disappointed with Merlin

    Yeah I've got those...

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    No. When I do a speed test on my machine with bandwidth limiter on, I easily get 800Mbps to 1Gbps. If I do it with cake I get 300 This is all with a wired connection of course.

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    10ms of latency odds HUGE for me since I can’t really afford >30ms to the server. I have computer/gear/router latency down to 14ms. I can’t make it worse.

    Disappointed with Merlin

    Hmm. I know it said I should do this, but I can't remember now. Crap. If all else fails I could try that for real (and write it down) and try again.

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    I've thought about getting a prosumer model but they have their own issues (I don't feel like spending hours on command line settings). I've retired from my 25 years of working on command line and don't want to go back. Also I'd have to find one that supports exactly my use model. But...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.4.4 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

    I'm getting 1.5Gbps for $66 (incl taxes). Sorry.

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    Why do I use bandwidth limiter? Because Cake limits the bandwidth to ~350Mbps (and I get gigabit speeds due to a screwup at Xfinity!). And I do certain things that require very low latency (not gaming) and I don't want other devices to start some massive download that'll blow up the router...

    Disappointed with Merlin

    And to make up for my jerkiness, I've sent a donation to Merlin WRT... 😇

    Disappointed with Merlin

    No I replied on the actual thread on which I posted the original issue before I got frustrated... In any case, my apologies for coming across as rather a jerk. Which I try not to be, but in this case I was.

    Guest network 2 fails with bandwidth limiter

    (Reply to @bennor ) Tried with computer and phone; in both cases can’t connect to guest network #2. NOTE: iot network (id #1) works fine. Tried with guest network #2 password enabled and as open system: same issue. See attached screen shot of guest network settings. Global bandwidth limiter...

    Disappointed with Merlin

    I have... no answer. See my post from a couple of days ago. Unfortunately I can't expect the renter to have to go back and forth between various trials of settings and router going offline.

    Disappointed with Merlin

    ok after a week of trying out Merlin WRT I’m rolling back to the Asus firmware. The guest network stuff is just too flaky. Sometimes accepts connections , sometimes doesn’t—based on its mood I expect. It’s been nice knowing you.

    Routers with 1) configurable QoS with hw acceleration at 1Gbps and 2) multiple vlans?

    Yeah I understand. I’ve already measured the latency and cut down on buffer bloat on my current setup (combination of my own modem and QoS)

    Routers with 1) configurable QoS with hw acceleration at 1Gbps and 2) multiple vlans?

    yep. I’ve got the upstream issues solved for the most part, at least for the couple of servers I need to access. It’s my router that I’m focusing on right now.
