Because stock Adaptive QoS does not limit uploads from the router itself (i.e. where the speedtest runs from). FlexQoS puts such traffic from the router in File Downloads by default, so it is limited by your QoS upload bandwidth value.Why do i get higher upload speed test results in the router speedtest itself with flexqos disabled? The download speed is always the same
You can't customize the priorities of the preset options. So how could I recommend to move Learn-From-Home in that case?why is it recomended to move Learn-from-Home to the bottom if customizing the order of the catagores but not if you choose a preset one?
I believe this has been covered in the past.I had a quick question. why is it recomended to move Learn-from-Home to the bottom if customizing the order of the catagores but not if you choose a preset one? i usually customize but i wanted to keep things simple
so should i just always have learn from home at the bottom and dont make any iptable entries that point to it and just ignore it?You can't customize the priorities of the preset options. So how could I recommend to move Learn-From-Home in that case?
The rest of the explanation for moving Learn-From-Home was fully discussed recently in this thread.
FlexQoS - FlexQoS 1.2.5 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS
Anything I should be concern at all for my specific setup? I know using a full time VPN plus the additional scripts makes everything a little complicated with A.QoS. Only be concerned if you reach the point when you no longer understand all the moving parts of your network. ;) I like...www.snbforums.com
You should leave it at the bottom (or at least beneath both Streaming and Web Surfing; doesn't have to be at the very bottom as long as those two are higher priority). You can still use iptables rules if you want to put something else in Learn-From-Home since it will be otherwise unused.so should i just always have learn from home at the bottom and dont make any iptable entries that point to it and just ignore it?
ok cool. thanks man. sorry for all the questions its just these threads are so long its hard to sift through everythingYou should leave it at the bottom (or at least beneath both Streaming and Web Surfing; doesn't have to be at the very bottom as long as those two are higher priority). You can still use iptables rules if you want to put something else in Learn-From-Home since it will be otherwise unused.
did you ever get around to playing around with this? if i could also add domain names it would be the best of both worlds. i think now with fc and runner disabled the buffer bloat is pretty much the same as with cake (make +2 ot 3ms but thats it) but it seems snappier for my network usage then cake... or if its not super complicated just tell me how to do it i know the ins and outs of linux and stuff , no windows in this house!What variant of Tomato are people generally referring to when they say “Tomato” in 2021? I ask because I want to see what their QoS code looks like to support domains. Shibby, Fresh, Advanced, blah blah blah. Maybe they’re all the same. I haven’t used Tomato since the Linksys WRT54G.
As I mentioned a couple posts above, if I add any domain name/ipset based features to FlexQoS, traffic that gets modified by such an iptables rule won’t show up in the correct priority class in the list of Tracked Connections. That tends to freak people out when they think the traffic should show up in one class (e.g. Gaming) but it shows up in another (e.g. Web Surfing).
I have a AC86u. Should be plenty fast and works fine with normal torrent loads.That doesn't surprise me. They use a repository system, except more granular than what Linux typically uses. Your average game might have hundreds of repo entries, for different components and different versions. I don't think they torrent specifically, but they do spread the connection load around. They also download a lot off-peak... my download schedule is almost always between 3 to 7AM, which I assume it selected because 1) My PC is left running, 2) I'm not using my computer then, 3) North Americans aren't using Steam servers much then.
May I ask what router you have? I specifically bought mine for the powerful CPU, as I have found on weaker CPUs there is a long delay before categorization was applied. I typically leave torrents going 24/7, and have hundreds or thousands of connections established at any one time. Without a very fast CPU, forming new connections does get quite slow and laggy.

Not really. Seems rather unintelligible to me. He may know what he’s talking about, but I don’t understand it.I said I would ask someone with knowledge and mentioned you.
I hope you can make sense of this lol.
