Hello guys, maybe someone can clarify the following issue for me. So , on my AC86U, last firmware 386.7_2 (ignore the sig, need to update it), If I do not use the FlexQos (or any Qos at all) my speedtest speed are almost with my advertised connection 1000 Mb down / 1000 Mb up.

But then I face this strange issue, when I start some games if I have some youtube running in the background the image freezes while the sound still goes on, like the game is using all the bandwidth. Annoying ... at least, so I tried FlexQos and after some fiddling with the bandwidth this annoying issue went away. This is my current config

But now when I do a speedtest now it shows only around 80 Mb .

Plus as you can see from the above pic with only youtube 4k and a twitch video running all traffic falls under gaming and other instead of Video and streaming as I would expected. Not sure what am I doing wrong. Are my expectations unrealistic?

Thank you for your feedback
 
I believe that this is the same on all ASUS AX routers. It certainly applies to my RT-AX56U and RT-AX68U.

With Flow Cache enabled, I can have some linux distro uploads going, but FlexQOS has no clue how much bandwidth is going through the router. There's ping spikes galore... a few nights ago I got roughly 280 alerts from connmon. I dropped the limits in QOS, but it had no effect, because a lot of data seems to bypass QOS entirely.

Then I checked, reapplied fc disable, and all the symptoms go away. Plus the graph shows properly again and the numbers add up.

That should be a recommended/required step, mentioned while installing. It's frustrating for novices to figure out, and seems to apply to enough router models that it warrants mentioning. Perhaps even automatically enabling it, if speeds are under 100mbit or so.

With fc disable web responsiveness with torrents going has significantly improved.

THANK YOU - disabling fc finally fixed my download being throttled. Given this is so long-standing, i'm 1/2 wondering about trying this against fq_codel vs sqm, as i would have expected someone to complain to ASUS if it similarly broke in stock? (Not that releases have been higher quality for a while now...)
 
Hello, I installed FlexQoS on my newly purchased Tuf-AX5400 but I can't see the FlexQoS tab in the QoS section of the GUI, any ideas ? Thank you in advance.
 
Welcome to the forums @cypr919.

Did you try a reboot and then waiting a few minutes for the router to settle before logging in?
 
I tried that and I still can't see it in the menu.

Edit: I did a hard reset on the router, re-installed the script, and I still can't see it.

I tried that and I still can't see it in the menu.
FlexQoS expects to find the Classification tab (QoS_Stats.asp) from Merlin in the menu tabs, then insert its own tab right before it.

Since you don’t have that tab, you could try to update flexqos.sh to replace QoS_Stats.asp with AdaptiveQoS_WebHistory.asp on this line:

 
this works. can see menu,
download stats ok. upload stats not working

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me, this helped and I can see it in the interface now.
 
Hello @dave14305 have you had any users complain about a massive speed loss in the last few weeks? For some reason when I start running FlexQoS, my speeds can barely get above about 150-200Mbps, as soon as I uninstall FlexQoS with just regular Adaptive QoS Enabled, it will get back up to 850Mbps range. I've tried disabling flow cache as well and that didn't seem to have an effect either.

Yes, a few. See posts 202 and 203. I don’t have too many ideas on that since I’m no longer eating my own dog food.

I can see what I can figure out for you and report back, I'm thinking something strange with a mangle rule maybe?
 
@dave14305 I have a minor update, I had these custom rules created for Speedtest, with them created my tests were terrible. After deleting the rules my Speedtests are back to normal. I had them set as Net Control, it's almost as if the speeds are being limited by the minimum % set instead of the maximum.

Those rules are putting the traffic in the Gaming class, not Net Control. Probably doesn’t matter, but let’s be sure we understand your config.

Is this on an AX86U? I don’t find any hint as to your router model.

As a test, delete this rule and add an AppDB rule for 0d00de and see if it changes the outcome.

AX-11000 and I can do this later this evening.

I added that rule and it capped my Speedtest back down to ~300Mbps again. Removed that rule, ran another Speedtest and to the same AT&T Server (I have AT&T Fiber) it was back to ~750-800Mbps average.

That surprises me since no iptables should have been involved. Maybe test changing the QoS Mode from fq_codel to ASUS (sfq).
 
do i have to do anything other thand press the add gaming rule in the script to have my pc as a gaming device with highest priority ?
