Hey, I desperately need your help, something is very wrong with my QoS setup I think. I've moved from the AX58U to the AX86U (fresh install of course; installed merlin, factory reset, then manually set everything) and when Steam downloads games I reach a 8% packet loss locally, to the router (tested with WinMTR) as well as on TeamSpeak, where it's 20% in loss an 6-8% out loss.
QoS is set to adaptive, fq_codel, FlexQoS 1.3.1 is active, and I have an AppDB rule redirecting Valve Steam to "file transfers".
I'm using spdMerlin to automatically set my QoS limits every 30 minutes. They're usually between 600 and 800mbit download and 32-48mbit upload.
This is my QoS priority list:
FlexQoS:
- 2.5 Gbit LAN to router (1G shows the same behaviour)
- 1000/50 cable WAN connection (DOCSIS3, Germany, Vodafone) using a TC4400
I also had a gaming rule for my PC running steam; I've removed both the gaming rule and the AppDB redirection to no avail.
When I disable QoS completely, steam downloads at full bore (it hasn't while QoS was active), but the packet loss "only" gets to 1-2%; which compared to the 20% PL using QoS tells me that it's not any physical connection that's at fault. Also I can fully saturate the connection to/from the router both ways using 20 iperf3 streams with no packet loss accumulating.
This never happened on my AX58U, what could possibly be wrong? (To be clear, the AX58U never had to handle 1 GBit downstream; I've specifically updated to the AX86U when my downstream was increased from 500 MBit to 1 GBit as its SOC should handle it well, the AX58U only managed 550 MBit)
Thank you so much, I'll provide any details you need for helping me debug this.
