AppDB rules are useful if you disagree with the Class that the Trend Micro engine assigns to the application. If XBOX and Playstation and NintendoSwitch are already classified as Gaming, why would you change it?@dave14305
Thanks for the update.
I do have a dumb question.
I normally leave the AppDB at default settings. I've never actually had created a rule before until someone noticed all STUN traffic being identify as web.
When I was there creating the rule for STUN rule it automatically populated the mark & class which is pretty cool.
So, after trying to search for other rules, I noticed if I type in XBOX, it creates the appdb rule (mark: 08003E /class: Gaming). If I already setup a gaming rule under the iptables, do I need to create the appdb redirection rules as well? Is there any benfefit for creating these appdb rules?
I noticed there is also one for the Sony Playtation & NitendonSwitch plus a few others but I didn't create the appbd rule (currently limited to 32. Just curious if I need to create additional rules to improve my gaming or just leave as default?
Much appreciated.
Got it ...that makes sense.AppDB rules are useful if you disagree with the Class that the Trend Micro engine assigns to the application. If XBOX and Playstation and NintendoSwitch are already classified as Gaming, why would you change it?
An iptables rule will not be affected by any AppDB rules. So no need for both.
Yep, STUN's original home is Net Control, so that's how it pre-populates the AppDB class dropdown.When I looked at STUN it was classifying as Net Control.
From the router's perspective... are iptable rules (typically) less CPU intensive than AppDB rules?AppDB rules are useful if you disagree with the Class that the Trend Micro engine assigns to the application.

We'd need to ask the router.From the router's perspective... are iptable rules (typically) less CPU intensive than AppDB rules?
I can appreciate and relate to this request @dave14305 . I have an Rpi on my network that is part of ntp.pool.org. As you can imagine, I have lots of port 123 connections.@dave14305 Is it possible for future releases, in tracked connections, to be able to choose an application and that filter to still be applied when coming back to the flexqos tab?
It's really annoying, though probably of little importance, having the data refresh disabled due to having too many tracked connections. Having to go down and select the filter you wish to apply.
I know it it's not the end of the world, but it's just a suggestion for the future.
Yes, but the people who usually need QoS the most are the ones with lower speed connections. They have choices now.Hey Dave, I noticed you mentioned previously about "you all ditching me for CAKE" & I've been doing my best to keep current with all the recent merlin alpha development.
It's my understanding that CAKE is not compatible with the Asus Hardware Acceleration.
Hence for ISP speeds >300Mbps it will obviously prevent clients from ever approaching the super fast speeds which approach Gbps.
So for non-symmetrical high-speed ISP that is +300Mbps isn't FlexQos still the most Viable option?
In other words... we are STUCK with you ;-)
Very true. And for once, I'm finding myself very fortunate.Yes, but the people who usually need QoS the most are the ones with lower speed connections. They have choices now.
Yes, this is normal. The router is a bad place to run a speedtest, especially at your high speeds. Use a PC to run a speedtest. The router CPU is inadequate to get reliable results.After applying all changes ... I made a speed test directly using the router app and also using spdMerlin ... and the results weren’t so good. The DL was around 350 and the UL around 450.
Are these decrease of speeds normal?
They are equal.so again is the develop channel still the latest version or right now the stable version ??
