For the sake of science, I decided to fool around with my RT-AX88U (main) router and the symmetrical 1Gbps up/down Fibre ISP connection I have with this script.
Without QoS of any sort, I normally get an indicated 1ms unloaded and 5ms loaded latencies on my i7 desktop with 950Mbps down and 880Mbps up speeds on
fast.com. On dslreports.com, I get A+ on all categories too.
When I installed this script, I tested with both 950Mbps down and 850Mbps up and with 500Mbps down and 500Mbps up speeds for the "docsis ack-filter" parameters.
With both tests above, I achieved a latency of 2ms unloaded and 18 to 20ms loaded with speeds of 440Mbps down and 500Mbps up. On dslreports.com I dropped to A on all categories too.
The script works very well and, IMO, works well above the 250Mbps indicated in the notes.
Of course, for symmetrical Fibre connections below about 500Mbps it may prove unnecessary (only testing will tell for sure), but for any cable, DSL, or satellite connections, this script is a very welcome feature. I can't wait to test it with some of my customer's routers who have ISP connections much lower than mine.
Congrats to all here who contributed to this!
Now, my question is... how do I completely uninstall this script from my RT-AX88U?
