Cake is Disabled, even though it is Selected

[TonyK132]

I've run into this with previous Merlin f/w versions, but since it is happening with my AX86U Pro with 4.4, then I thought I'd post to see if there is a solution.

I have Cake enabled in the QoS screen.

Sometimes when I go to the CakeQOS_Merlin screen, I get this that says Cake is not running:

Yet when I go back later, or if I disable QoS then restart it, it then shows the Cake is running with the categories:

My Speedtest is:

Those parameters are well within my bandwidth.

So, is Cake really getting disabled periodically? If so, why? Should I be running a user script to check the Cake status periodically, every 5 min, and enable if it is disabled?

This is an odd issue...by any chance do you use spdMerlin? I think this used to be an issue previously while using this script. I doubt this is related to your issue though.

No, I do not use spdMerlin. Like I said, I should have reported this with previous Merlin versions, but I have seen this issue for a number of previous releases.

When you see that message, quickly login to the router over ssh and run tc qdisc and post the result. Also check the system log if anything else is logged at the time.

Most likely it’s an Addon issue, not a firmware issue.
