@LostFreq This is excellent reading for all of us looking at upgrading to the 382 code base and worried about ram usage. Thank you for sharing.

Running the currently latest alpha on my RT-AC68U (RT-AC68U_382.2_alpha2-gdef3266), with QoS enabled (Adaptive / Automatic / fq_codel / WAN Packet overhead = 0 / Web Surfing mode), no issues whatsoever in the past 24 hours since I uploaded it. Did a factory reset beforehand, a power cycle afterwards after it had been up for a while, restored dhcp_staticlist and configured some minor things, no complaints here. Thanks @RMerlin and happy holidays!

This is the setup I use except for running Video Streaming mode in Adaptive QoS. Did you check the performance of QoS now as mine has gone from straight A+s on 380.69 measured with with DSLREPORTS to a buffer bloat value of D.

QoS is essential for me as our family push our connection to the limit of what is available in my area, and on 382.2 Alpha 2 I can’t get it to work properly no matter what I try, and actually when I turn it fully off my performance and latency is better.

I understand that this is a development build so I’m not complaining, just wondering at the difference in our experiences.

Watch the commits to see what changes are possible and the ones being added before releases.

Setup a 86U yesterday It works really well with Merlin FW! Finally great USB speed!
I miss John's megabits per second option in the traffic monitor . Would that be hard to add as an option? The QoS WAN/Lan Bandwidth Monitor uses bits.

The only thing that puzzles me is the HW acceleration.
HW acceleration Runner: Disabled - Flow Cache: Enabled
The runner changes from disabled to enabled and back without me changing any settings?
