    FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.0 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

    I do have a question about the software operation. Let's say we have an ISP that is throttling download bandwidth to users between say 7pm-11pm each night based on an unknown formula that considers total number of users and also considers packet inspection. The amount of throttling varies with...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.0 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

    me? no not in real life... but I do see that you maintain two documents... one here and one on github and the requirements differ.

    FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.0 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

    ntpMerlin ntpMerlin - NTP Daemon for AsusWRT Merlin

    how is this different from the NTP intercept already in the Merlin firmware on the System screen under Admin. Does that setting need to be off before installing this?

    FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.0 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

    a couple of questions when you have time. 1) when flexos installs... does it create a backup copy of whatever the router qos defaults were at the time of install... meaning when I uninstall it will go back to whatever the qos settings were before? 2) If I create a backup using the create...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    You have probably seen my other replies by now. I have another question about smartphones and voip. In the case of hardware based Voips ATAs its obvious that they are only generating voip traffic and reclassifying that with FlexOS is easy. Thank you. What is your thought on smartphones and...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    I just did some reading on "wi-fi calling" and realized that is not the same as VoIP (be it hardware or software based Voip). I was a bit puzzled at first, at the port numbers i saw in your defaults for wifi calling as that reminds me of something else. Now I understand better. :)

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    I tried it Dave. Very clever app :) So it seems with your advice I reclassified the UDP traffic from the defaults that came with FLEXOS for those two IPs to work-from-home. I will run it a while and see how that goes. So if I understand this correctly I could put all the traffic from each of...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    Here is an Android 8.1.1 smartphone running Zoiper to make a VOIP phone call over Wi-Fi to one of the PSTN DID numbers on one of the hardwired ethernet ATAs discussed in the previous note. Zoiper is configured to register on the service provider with TLS-SRTP on port 42873. (ignore the red...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    Everyone went out for lunch so I had a chance to try this on a quiet network. I took screen shots of 2 ATAs, one called Spa112B (SIP UDP transport) and the other called Cisco phones (TLS with SRTP transport). I used an analog phone on the first ATA to call a DID number on a analog phone on the...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    I finally found the time to install it. Surprisingly it was an easy single step. I see the tab and the reports. I tried some phone calls soon after and as far as I can tell they are ending up in the work-from-home category. So no difference there. I tried a phone call while surfing some...

    Please bring back the VOIP and instant messaging adaptive QOS category

    Earlier this year Asus changed the category names on the Adaptive QOS categories to things like work-from-home, learn-from-home etc. It looks like this was a marketing department attempt to make Asus look like the product to buy during the Covid-19 pandemic. Long standing important category...

    large downloads flood my Asus AC68U

    What version of firmware are you running? You twigged my interest when you mentioned Steam downloads. I was having a slightly different issue with Steam downloads messing up VoIP phone calls. The culprit seems to be new adaptive QoS categories Asus created. VoIP traffic and Steam downloads...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    Switching to manual bandwidth did not change the classification I described above. I left it in manual mode based on your advice. Before I rush off to figure out FlexQOS... one question about Traditional QOS. Whats the downside of specifying the VOIP ATAs as the HIGHEST user service priority...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    Good point. I asked everyone to get off one network except one person who was asked to play a Valve STEAM game.. Dead by daylight. 99% of the download traffic the game generates gets classified as work-from-home. less than 1% net control packets. on the upload it looks like >90% WFH and <10%...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    My thought is that adaptive qos even with customize selected and Work from home as the highest item followed by learn from home as second on the list is still failing to give VOIP ATA traffic the highest priority when someone is downloading STEAM updates. So it seems I need to go back to...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    Thanks for the reply. That used to work reasonably well when there was a category that was called VOIP/Video preCovid. But these new selectors dont seem to affect VOIP.. at least not for a cisco/linksys ATA. Steam updates are allowed to blow away zoom video conf as well when work from home is...

    384.19 QOS for work from home and VOIP

    Since Asus came up with these new "covidized" adaptive QOS shortcuts I notice that my Linsksys SPA ATAs keep getting blown away by file transfers and Steam game downloads etc from PCs on the network. In fact I have watch STEAM updates blow away phone calls on several occasions. One would think...

    USB file share with Chromebook 15 has me stumped.

    In case anyone comes across this in future the only thing that worked today with the Chromebook 15 v85 and the Asus USB drive feature was one Chrome store app called "File system for windows" .. using Colin's recommendation to turn on the simpler sharing name feature in the AsusMerlin and use...

    USB file share with Chromebook 15 has me stumped.

    ... and nope... not it either... Thank you everyone for your time... the solution is the brown box on the floor next to me... I will factory reset this chromebook and return it tomorrow in that box. My problems will be solved :) Pretty clear that Google is only interested in people using the...
