FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.4.4 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

[dave14305]

It says to enter the correct CIDR, which showed me from my Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 that it is 24.

The CIDR notation is only needed if you want to specify more than 1 IP address in the gaming rule, and they should be consecutive IPs in a narrow range (e.g. /31, /30, /29, etc.). Otherwise, as you found, all the devices in the /24 get included in the Gaming category.

Another thing I noticed is that FlexQos doesn't load Gaming properly On the FlexQos control panel unless FC is turned off. Why is this happening!?

Newer routers using based on the HND5.04 platform have different packet acceleration behavior than older routers, and iptables rules don’t see the packets when FC is enabled.

Maybe in the next update, Flow Cache will be automatically turned off!?

Flow cache is automatically disabled in this scenario:

1. Upload and download QoS bandwidth are less then 400 Mbps.
2. iptables rules are present in FlexQoS.
3. The Flow Cache control option in FlexQoS is set to Auto (this option is only visible on some models (RT-AX88U_PRO, GT-AX11000_PRO, GT-AX6000, GT-AXE16000, RT-AX86U_PRO, XT12).

If your bandwidth if greater than 400 Mbit, disabling flow cache may do more harm than good, depending on your usage.

Thanks for the reply. There is something I posted last week and I still have no answer. Thanks in advance

... a little help please. My ISP modem is in bridge mode and I do all the settings on the Asus router. I have a static IP address and my question is what should I mark under -WAN packet overhead-FlexQos.!? Thank you very much!
Ps. I use fiber optic internet 600 down and 600 up.

Then nobody has a suggestion for you, sadly.

Somewhere on another forum I read to check mtu, my is 1500 (standard) and the largest packet that I can open without being fragmented : ping -f -l .... 8.8.8.8, in my case 1472, and that number from 1472 to 1500, which is 28, should be in -WAN packet overhead- Does that make any sense?

@zli -Is it possible like this or only one same IP address can be used in the Gaming rule.!?

Is it possible like this

Yes, that’s fine to enter multiple rules. But in your screenshot, if the traffic is already given the mark 080056 then it doesn’t need to be changed to Gaming (08 is Gaming). If it’s not being correctly identified as Gaming, leave it as 000000 or put the Mark as !08****

Thank you very much! And thank you for everything you do for all of us.
