    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    My RT-AX56U used to do the weird bandwidth spikes to super high numbers before I turned off flowcache. The internet would also get crappy for a while when flowcache and QOS were mixed. I ended up keeping QOS (FlexQOS) and disabling flowcache, and then everything was groovy. Wasn't malware for...

    MoCA issues after tenant/suite split

    It's working a lot better with the new splitter in place. I haven't measured the stats, but I was starting to get a lot of dropout notices from my router just before installing it, and they've pretty much stopped. Games are also working better. Huge improvement from a very simple part swap.

    MoCA issues after tenant/suite split

    Okay, I'm not really sure how to read the specs on these, but I think they don't meet the recommendations? https://www.amazon.ca/Filter-MoCA-Cable-coaxial-networks/dp/B00KO5KHSQ/?tag=smallncom-20...

    MoCA issues after tenant/suite split

    Howdy all, I have been using MoCA in my home for a few years. (TL-MC84 adapters.) A year or so ago I got an 8 way splitter and installed it in the demarc, hooking up 8 rooms together. I then stuck adapters in the rooms that I needed. I have both VDSL2 and Cable (failover with a Merlin router) -...

    CakeQOS CakeQOS for Gaming?

    I guess since I deal more with the equipment side, I don't really care if the support is buttoned down on the transit side. I'm out in BC. Probably twice per week I encounter a network laser printer that flipped its port settings in Windows to IPv6, and can't find the printer anymore. My...

    CakeQOS CakeQOS for Gaming?

    They sure don't here in Canada. Most of them have terrible or no implementation. Though apparently that has spared me great headaches. I keep IPv6 disabled, and have solely those glitchy routers that Tech9 mentions. I wasn't even aware that such a terrible bug exists, but it doesn't surprise...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    Those categorizations are incredibly broad. If you tried anything similar with FlexQOS, you'd definitely not have a happy connection. You've got HTTPS (websites / downloads) set into your highest Voice category, and 15000+ ports that are used by random software. (Your two "Discord" rules) That's...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    It's a feature, not a bug. The exact behaviour that you're describing (having all those devices doing stuff, and it carefully balancing which ones get to go first) is exactly what causes your gaming trouble. When the counterstrike packet is ready, you get to wait in line for a firestick and your...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    Depends on your model of router. I needed to turn flowcache off on my RT-AX56U routers and up. Only then would they classify all traffic, and give good results during heavy load. Also had to set an XBox a bit lower so that game downloads didn't get prioritized as high as VOIP.

    Wireguard on Asus: Can only see router, not LAN Devices!

    I have been experimenting with WireGuard recently as well. I take it that the "Access Intranet" toggle doesn't do much when launching the server in Merlin firmware? Or is that basically a toggle for whether to send all traffic through the tunnel or not? AKA "access local printers, plus WireGuard...

    amtm amtm 4.9 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, June 30, 2024 (locked thread)

    AMTM used to tell you not to install entware separately and instead to install it through Diversion if you were going to install that. So you'd press 1 and it would then prompt to install it. Since I haven't set up a new router in a while, I was used to the old method. The new method is you...

    amtm amtm 4.9 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, June 30, 2024 (locked thread)

    Hey, I'm setting up a new RT-AX86U router somewhere, and AMTM doesn't seem to want to let me install any scripts. I plugged in a flashdrive, turned on jffs custom scripts and ssh, switched to USB2 mode, ssh'd in, formatted the USB to ext4, got swap set up, configured email settings for alerts...

    These aren't huge office buildings, but are using /22's, so they're not puny either. Interesting examples that you chose there. SpaceX is well known for using consumer parts where they can. They designed their own motherboards for the Falcon 9 rockets that used three standard dual-core Intel...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    My experience has been that there are dealbreaker firmware versions. I'm always very careful rolling out a new firmware release. I do it on my home network and evaluate for a few months before doing it in the wild. Entware can also be problematic - I don't always update that. That has spared me...

    It seems probable that if you're getting a low speedtest result, consistently at a low level, it may be getting mis-categorized and throttled. We need to see the full QOS configuration to tell you for sure. It might be worthwhile to grab a screenshotting tool like GoFullPage and upload some...

    FlexQoS FlexQoS issues with 388.4 HND5.04 models

    I only have AX routers now. I never had to disable anything to get QOS working on older ones. Probably Other. Something above the slowest classes, in case things get mis-prioritized or take a little bit to get categorized. What does it show on the QOS page as your limit? What are the category...

    You do it over SSH. See here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/help-code-for-disable-runner-and-flow-cache-in-ssh-putty-please.84232/#post-831033 Probably this: fc disable fc flush nvram set fc_disable="1" nvram set fc_disable_force="1" nvram commit And then reboot the router.

    "works perfectly fine" Hehe, I beg to differ. We really appreciate what you were able to put together with FlexQOS. :) Hard to go back to a Ford Fiesta that runs perfectly fine, now that we've experienced a Ford Fusion.

    You're probably right. I'm probably mis-remembering which page I used. I thought it was the pie chart one, but maybe not. I was digging through the IPs and connections at the bottom of the page, so maybe I was on the other one instead? Thanks for the suggestion. :)

    You can't put Gaming at the top unless you cap its incoming speed a lot. XBox games (and some Steam games) are split across Gaming, Web Surfing, Others, with Gaming and Web Surfing being most common. Annoyingly, both the game downloads (huge bandwidth consumption) and games themselves (minimal...
