ASUS RT-AC86U, Merlin 384.19,
Guest network WPA-Auto-Personal / AES
Bandwidth Limiter Yes, Setting 80Mbps down / 5Mbps up
Access Intranet Disable
(same settings for 2.4G & 5G)
On QoS page, QoS Type Bandwidth Limiter shows enabled

But logged into the guest network I see no limiting, still getting 220Mbps d/l on 5G band. Local network is blocked as requested (ie, cannot reach 192.168.1.1)

What else shall I look for? Thanks!

You need to update your firmware.
 
Are you saying that the Guest Network is broken in 384.19? We have no need for mesh.
 
SSH into the router and run cat /tmp/qosand then copy/paste the output into a post.
Thanks, Dave. Assume I have never used SSH (I'm best at hardware). I see an attribute for "address" but using "SSH -R 192.168.1.1" returns an error message.

Use the following (change admin if applicable):
Code:
ssh admin@192.168.1.1
 
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> ssh admin@192.168.1.1
admin@192.168.1.1's password:


ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC86U 384.19_0 Fri Aug 14 19:19:51 UTC 2020
admin@RT-AC86U-1B60:/tmp/home/root# cat /tmp/qos
cat: can't open '/tmp/qos': No such file or directory
admin@RT-AC86U-1B60:/tmp/home/root#
 
Dave, thanks for your help. I'm going to have to postpone this for a while and get back to it later.
 
It seems like QoS isn’t really enabled if there is no /tmp/qos file.
Rookie error. I have actually built another local network while setting this up for a friend, and I was looking at the wrong router! From the subject router:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> ssh admin@192.168.1.1
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1)' can't be established.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes

But still no bandwidth cap.:confused:
 
2.4GHz Guest Network is capped under 100Mbps anyway, remove the 5GHz one. The hardware solution. :)

Great idea, Tech9 :D . I will do that until we find the cause.
 
Check what Tools page shows for Runner and Flow Cache when Bandwidth Limiter is activated. It may not work correctly with hardware acceleration.

Thanks -- I have already boxed them up to return to the friend (with the Guest Network offering 2.4GHz only).
 
I believe Bandwidth Limiter disables Runner and Flow Cache. There is a chance you converted your friend's Gigabit router into up to 300Mbps router. If he has >300Mbps ISP, he may find entire network limited by the CPU processing speed.

Thanks for the tip, 9. Whatever degradation may be taking place does not appear to affect her. She is paying Spectrum for 400Mbps down, and getting 450.
