Are you sure you are connecting to the same Ookla server between the speedtest on your PC and the router (just a thought).

Yes, I have chosen the same server for spdmerlin and in the speedtest web page. In both cases I am using the closest server to my location (CSUC Server in Barcelona, Spain).
 
Thanks Jack Yaz. That sounds great to me, and I will surely do what I can. It might be later today or tomorrow before I can really look at your changes. So, the spdMerlin results will no longer be written to csv files? Happy Easter.
They are still written to csvs. I can't see anything that will have an effect on AutoBW, but I wanted you to check and give the go-ahead in case I've missed something
 
Whats the benefits of letting this set your upload/download speed at 85% or 90% of your max speed?

i.e I get about 310/50, but using this drops it to roughly 260/44 with a 90% scale but I'm not sure of the benefits?
 
@Donga120, if you are consistently getting the paid for speeds, using slightly lower values will then further help with reduced bufferbloat and significantly less lag in time-sensitive network usage, such as VOIP or gaming.
 
Having issues when running the script. Is this a bug or do I need to do something?

Same thing here with SPDMerlin 3.4 and AutoBW 1.5
 
Issues below after upgrading Spdmerlin to 3.4.0 - dos2unix is not the problem here
