How to Enable Hardware Acceleration /RT-AX86U Pro

[marcd5123]

Hiya Guys question please....


I've got the RT-AX86U Pro and with CakeQos setup and working very nicely indeed .

To my understanding obviously CakeQos disables "Hardware Acceleration" as it does not use hardware acceleration.

I also understand that Asus "AdaptiveQos uses Hardware Acceleration when enabled .

I have read that for the RT-AX86U Pro enabling hardware acceleration is under

Under LAN then Switch Control then it gives you
NAT Acceleration & Enable Jumbo Frame

I've seen that in some screenshots online ...

So do I take it these particular settings/options will only appear if I switch off CakeQos ..

Many thanks.

CakeQOS will automatically disable these features once CAKE is selected and router reboots. You can see it disabled under the Tools/HW acceleration section located at bottom. If you switch to Adaptive QoS it will automatically enabled Runner & FC and again you can see under Tools/HW acceleration as enabled for both. Example below:

I'm using FlexQoS (addon script that improves stock AdaptiveQoS) with custom iptables so FC is disabled only. ... with CAKE enabled is turns off both Runner/FC automatically as it's a requirement for traffic to flow correctly.

The options above will never appear on this router model.

There is no more user control over NAT acceleration and no more Jumbo Frames support.

Not using CakeQoS or any form of QoS. Those options are not available:
