Excellent. I'll try the script soon, I'm looking for a replacement of traditional QoS and this script seems to be it.

Custom rules are a must for my use case. Tried Adaptive QoS in the not so distant past and it was worthless for me. It's major flaw (which makes it a success in generic consumer use cases!) for me is it's lack of customization and that causes most of my traffic to end up as unknown.Without the intention to diminish all the hard work @FreshJR has put in this great script, but if you upgrade to the current stable release of Asuswrt-Merlin (380.68), you'll most likely will already be amazed by the improvements @RMerlin has made to Adaptive QoS, specifically by adding the fq_codel discipline. There's nothing 'traditional' about it anymore and it works great out of the box, with some simple, minor configuration (choose which discipline you want to use, defining your bandwith etc.).
Having said that, @FreshJR has managed to take that even a step further, by allowing you to define max bandwidth per category, adding custom rules, the ability for unidentified traffic to have it being redirected to the right category, so it's get the right priority. If you upgrade, you'll be in for a treat (don't forget to read the 380.68 changelog as there are some major changes, specifically to the UI which you need to be aware of and follow the instructions!)

fq_codel is definitely a big improvement, but the limits as set in the Asus defaults are borderline worthless. I wouldn't recommend anyone run adaptive QoS without this script. See the first post in this thread for a good explanation of how terrible the Asus implementation is.
That's absolutely true, but for those with no interest in running and editing custom scripts, thinking ssh is short for shush, fq_codel is definitely an improvement over the previous available diciplines, even with Asus ridiculous preset boundaries.
asus should be more open with traffic detection, they need a way to allow users to submit requsts for games to be added to classification or devicesThat's absolutely true, but for those with no interest in running and editing custom scripts, thinking ssh is short for shush, fq_codel is definitely an improvement over the previous available diciplines, even with Asus ridiculous preset boundaries.
The current realTC merlin is using has a special fq_codel (lite) backported specially to work with out limited kernel. So this custom realTC we are using is going to be better than the standard TC binaries.

sry I mean they should have a way for us to make requests that they pass on to trend.If I understood correctly, even Asus is not to blame, as they can't change anything about that, they've just decided to use closed, proprietary code from Trend Micro (good code, used in there enterprise solutions as well) in our router's firmware. But I agree with you, they should either keep it fully up to date (if ever possible, as every user has it's own preferences/requirements and there will probably not be a way to satisfy each and every one of them) or allow user requests so they can modify traffic detection to fit our needs.
Nothing custom about realtc, it's just a copy of the regular tc. This is so it can be called by the script that patches itself on top of "tc", intercept parameters, modify them, then pass them along to realtc.
So, if I understand you correctly, when using QoS, one shouldn't install tc from entware-ng, as it won't have the patches applied needed for QoS currenlty?
thats odd what modem are you using?Am I missing something guys? My connection is more stable with ATM unchecked and overhead set to Zero instead of 40 (since I use ADSL) ?
Hi FreshJR, thank you for the great job.
I'm using the 380.68 Merlin firmware on my Ac68U with automatic Qos ( manual bandwith, fq_codel), i have a Adsl2+ 20/1.
I wanted try your script but i'm not very expert, i changed the ip of the router from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.0.1 and i wanted know if i need change some things in the script (ip router and bandwith for 20/1) before send it.
Then i discovered that the game GuildWars2 isn't recognise from Trend Micro Engine, any chance in the future to optimizing the script in this case ?
Thank you !
What port does it use, I'll mod the rules in for you.Hi FreshJR, thank you for the great job.
