    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0 alpha

    EDIT: I didn't test yet but there is a chance that the stop/start can be achieved with /tmp/qos start and /tmp/qos stop . See e.g. https://github.com/jackyaz/spdMerlin/blob/master/spdmerlin.sh#L1585 ---------------------------------- Hello, Thank you for cake_qos The reboot of the router...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0 alpha

    I recommend you turn connmon ON. It uses close to zero bandwidth. It will give you insight like the packet loss on your line. For what it's worth, I just had my ISP working/testing in my home and working in my street. Some kind of problems are not under our direct control. And make sure that...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0 alpha

    About the very limited number of drops reported in that example: In this example, I see "Download" at 288.31 Mb/s. In my experience, a speedtest reporting that sort of speed will use between 250MB and 500MB. The statistics report for DL "Packets sent: 159.745", which at best would represent...

    connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

    Dear Stephen, Jack, I'm afraid I don't support Stephen's approach. I much prefer Jack 's current approach. At least in my environment, it is common practice that the first/left columns will describe the context/scope ; and the last/right columns will provide the actual measures/figures. Just my...

    Turn off / on 5 Ghz radio

    I have been using the parental control features of the router in the past. I have switched to homebrew iptables scripts. I like your approach a lot, seems very pragmatic. Btw, I don't have Alexa. I hope it doesn't answer questions about WiFi passwords :-) Best regards

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Hello again everyone, Do you mean that the router can handle the speed of a gig test when using something else than spdMerlin ? What other means ? (The feature at Adaptive QoS / Internet Speed ?) What I meant is that, in my understanding, spdMerlin will report a speed just as fast as what the...

    Should I Be Worried? (Router Temp)

    That's a big constraint. Pull the plug ? ;-) 13 pages of ideas here https://www.snbforums.com/threads/router-temperatures.71123/page-12 and in many other threads. It seems that having many network cables plugged into the router increases the temp. Relying on an external network switch might...

    Geo-Leak On Merlin

    That looks like a dummy/test/fake data a programmer would enter. Not a real IP/port. I'm not saying these are invalid ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers ), but they are certainly unexpected as the real thing...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Not a limitation of spdMerlin. You can take spdMerlin out of the equation by using the feature at Adaptive QoS / Internet Speed. If you have QOS enabled, disable it first. In spdMerlin, you can use "exclude from QoS" at Yes, to ensure that the test is not limited by QoS. For instance, cake is...

    Advice: Best merlin compatible router for adaptive QoS but not using Wi-fi

    Not sure what you mean with "dynamic QoS implementations". Cake supposedly uses only one "core".

    AX86U vs AX92U for AI Mesh Node - Same Price?

    I have no mesh/nodes experience. So, it might be irrelevant as long as you just use it as a node, or not... But if you ever want to give the 92u the main router role, it might limit your options.

    Advice: Best merlin compatible router for adaptive QoS but not using Wi-fi

    Fyi, If you want to use the cake flavour, it has been reported to be cpu limited to approx. 350Mbps on asus routers, depending on model. I have seen it reach 400 on my ac86u. (my line is limited to 400 anyway). Depending on your workload and needs, you might possibly have a better experience...

    AX86U vs AX92U for AI Mesh Node - Same Price?

    Just in case, be aware that ax92u is not supported by merlin. Best regards.

    So confused about model names / compatibilities with rmerlin

    Here is the end of the post mentioned above: "So don't ask if/when a new model will be supported. I cannot speculate about future model support, and until I have working support for a model, I cannot answer that question."

    Dear Jack Yaz, I have just started a private conversation to share a link with you. BTW: I realize that I provided the whole directory, not just the db file... Best regards W.

    connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

    Thank you for the feedback. In my case, what I observed after changing the raw/average setting is the following: After I exported to csv, I only got a few tens of records. Pings before the change of setting don't appear. After I refreshed the page, I still only got the last couple of hours. Not...

    connmon connmon - Internet connection monitoring

    I was using "raw" without being aware of the difference. Now that I'm aware, I think I prefer raw. I monitor frequently to identify rare events/incidents. I don't want an average to hide them. I save to USB so I guess the storage size is not an issue. I guess the option was there to save...

    CakeQOS CakeQoS-Merlin v2.0.0 alpha

    Hello, I see 1 drop every 2000 or 3000 packets. I wouldn't worry about it. Some packet drop is a feature of networking. EDIT: Often, when packet drop is reported, it appears as a percentage, with e.g. one or 2 decimal figures most. So, see it as 0,1%, which appears probably less worrying...

    spdMerlin spdMerlin - v4.x - speedtest and bandwidth monitoring

    Fun. The multiple target of Matthew Patrick was interesting, and a bit wild. I would have used it to target one server inside my ISP network (as this is the feedback to my ISP prefers), and one server outside my ISP network (as this is what's most relevant to me). Another even wilder idea...
