Question for Merlin or you ASUS pro's.

[L&LD]

Its the newest one he has released for this router from what I can tell by the date.

sorry 380.58, my bad.

'Latest' is not relevant when there are multiple 'latest' files available for any given Asus router depending on the exact time someone checks. Please give the actual firmware number.

And, you haven't stated what router you have in this thread either.

Oh sorry RT- AC3100

Melin FW 380.58

Few questions.

Did you do a factory reset and manual reconfig after installing Merlin?

Are you using any AiProtection features?

What are you using for the Nat Loopback under firewall? Merlin?

 

[pinkfloyd1173]

To your questions

1. yes and always when I install a new FW
2. No AiProtection
3. Merlin

So I just ran another test and here are the pics so you can see.

Got me. You should be getting test speeds closer to those limits. It's like you're bypassing the QoS entirely for some reason.

Is GameBoost enabled?

Yes game boost is enabled.

 

[Therion87]

Yes game boost is enabled.

Try disabling it. You may be sending traffic out that VPN and bypassing the QoS settings.

Ok.

 

[pinkfloyd1173]

Well same thing with game boost disabled.

 

[pinkfloyd1173]

So If I disable game boost, by default it turns QOS off? Gonna pick custom and see what happens.

Update: so after picking Custom under Adaptive QOS, I still get the same result on my speedtests??

Maybe it really does not work at all, I dont know what it could be. I really doubt it could be Merlin's FW, his stuff always works correctly.

Can you repost link, it does not work? thanks.

 

[Therion87]

Sounds like you need to enable the LAN Boost option on the GameBoost page for the Adaptive QoS to function properly.

Thanks good read, so I guess its a bug then, hopefully they will fix it??

Hopefully. Or it maybe the intended function, it's just not the way we think it should work.

Who knows. @RMerlin may know better about how it's working in the background with GameBoost.

True.

Thanks for all you help and advice Therion87, I really appreciate man.

True.

No problem. Sorry we really didn't end up getting anywhere.

Ultimately, I had to switch to a different router (pfSense) because of the inconsistent QoS. Upload QoS seemed to work but, just as you experienced, the download QoS was not working as expected.

Though, for most setups, upload QoS is the most important.
