Download should not be affected by Adaptive QoS. Upload probably is / should be affected.Is the built-in speedtest in merlin fw 386.1_2, affected by Adaptive QoS (and therefore, this script)?
Or does that speedtest run on a different level (since it's executed on the router) therefore Adaptive QoS parameters don't apply to it.
Can confirm. Download ignores QOS - Upload follows QOS. I wonder why only upload is impacted?Download should not be affected by Adaptive QoS. Upload probably is / should be affected.
Download limiting is only implemented on the LAN inteface br0. Upload limiting is implemented on the WAN interface, usually eth0. When running a speedtest from the router, the traffic only goes between the router and the WAN interface. It never crosses the LAN interface like it would if you ran the speedtest from a client.Can confirm. Download ignores QOS - Upload follows QOS. I wonder why only upload is impacted?
Yes, you tried it last week I think.@dave14305 is there currently a develop script available or the most recent stable version is the latest? Just curious.
Everything is working well with latest script.
Oops yea my bad, I thought it had switch to stable. I apologize. Getting old sucks haha I'm losing my mind! Thanks again.Yes, you tried it last week I think.

Can someone explain me what is this "QUIC"? Also... Is it in the correct category? Thanks! I saw that too....it has something to do with a new network protocol that's supposedly more secure: This is what you need to know about the new QUIC protocol | NordVPN The AppDB automatically...www.snbforums.com

Yeah, that's whacked. Split brain syndrome. I wonder if Merlin is stopping Cake when switching to A.QoS?@dave14305 Tried CAKE earlier and switched it off due to getting a strict NAT type from it. Put FlexQoS back on and I've resulted in this when I do the tc qdisc command.
Does the router need rebooting once reverting back from CAKE to A.QoS?

Didn’t look like it had. I thought I’d stumbled on some kind of Flex Cake..Yeah, that's whacked. Split brain syndrome. I wonder if Merlin is stopping Cake when switching to A.QoS?
More like Flake.Didn’t look like it had. I thought I’d stumbled on some kind of Flex Cake..
Can't reproduce here. Switching from Cake to A.QoS properly removed existing qdiscs before setting up the A.QoS ones, as QoS gets stopped, then started:Yeah, that's whacked. Split brain syndrome. I wonder if Merlin is stopping Cake when switching to A.QoS?

The default value should be File Downloads, but it isn’t that important unless you’re using a VPN client on the router.- Within the customization of FlexQoS, the Router Outbound Traffic Class option seems to be already set to Work-From-Home. Do I need to change this option at all?
Not really. It overrides the priorities you see in the GUI, so I wouldn’t recommend using both.- Does the Gear Accelerator work in conjuction with FlexQoS? For those unaware, Gear Accelerator is accessible by clicking on "Game" on the left side of the GUI. This options seems to be enabled by default when QoS is turned on.
For an AC router, it’s the most recommended one here. I bought one in December with no regrets. My temp is around 68C and was never affected by the temperature issues reported elsewhere.Lastly, is the RT-AC86U a decent router? I have 30-days to return for something better. I see within the GUI, that its using 76% of its RAM (387mb of 512mb), and the CPU is running at 78C (is this normal or too hot?). Just want to make sure I have a good router that will last me some years. I read a lot of good things about the AC86U, but maybe there's something better?
Ok. But I think there's no actual way to disable this feature, correct? When I click the "Game" tab, it shows the Gear Accelerator {Game Device Prioritizing} slider to ON. If I move the slider to OFF, it turns off QoS completely.Not really. It overrides the priorities you see in the GUI, so I wouldn’t recommend using both.
That's weird that your unit is much lower than mine. I checked again and the CPU is at 82c. Which I feel like is a bit high. Any thoughts?For an AC router, it’s the most recommended one here.

Just don’t add any devices to its list then. That will screw things up.Ok. But I think there's no actual way to disable this feature, correct?

It most influences how upload traffic from the VPN appears in the stats. You can probably make it whatever you want. How does your upload traffic appear now?Can you elaborate on this a little more since I run a fulltime VPN on the router? Should I change the default from File Downloads to something else? Thanks dave!
