[galbert]

Can you post some screenshots?

3074 is the port cod uses on ps4. Works amazing, played with parties and chromecast was casting, no lag.

3074 is the port cod uses on ps4. Works amazing, played with parties and chromecast was casting, no lag.

Gald to hear it's resolved, hopefully it makes it as a default rule in the next update.

Been using this mod for a while now, but, recently, on my new Asus 5300, it's been classifying IOS software updates as Video and Audio streaming. I would assume they ought to be file downloads. Is this the way it works for IOs software updates? Perhaps something has changed.

EDIT - looks like I am another one with the AppDB problem, will await a fix.

hello

I know in the info it says that i should keep all devices at default, but my handy .. is taking sometimes a lot of internet speed.

Can you explain me why i should not put my gaming pc on high priority, I do streaming and play cs go.

Struggling in the last yard here. Installed FreshJR's Adaptive QOS enhancements and x3mRouting with latest Merlin build. Have ovpncli1 selectively routing certain clients through VPN. Added Netflix, Hulu and Amazon IPSET routes to WAN, since I don't want those going through VPN for those select VPN clients.

Initially, all traffic (both final VPN tunneled and IPSEC routed to WAN) from those devices showed up/down inverted on QOS Bandwidth Metrics. Added FreshJR's recommended VPN fix to correct the inverted QOS Bandwidth Metrics for VPN traffic:
iptables -D POSTROUTING -t mangle -o br0 -d [VPN_CLIENT_IP_HERE] -j MARK --set-xmark 0x80000000/0xC0000000 &> /dev/null
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t mangle -o br0 -d [VPN_CLIENT_IP_HERE] -j MARK --set-xmark 0x80000000/0xC0000000

This yields QOS Bandwidth Monitor up/down correction for the IPSEC routed traffic (e.g. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon), but not for traffic which remained tunneled through VPN. Am I missing something?

Here are some routing logs:

Ok- I have what may be a stupid question. How do I add more lines in the section to port forward? As you can see, I am out of lines to add more ports and since we have several gamers in the house playing multiple games, we need more.

If you can’t consolidate your existing rules, you’ll have to go old-school and add them in the FreshJR_QOS script directly. It’s a limitation of the available nvram variables that FreshJR borrowed to implement his WebUI.

It should auto detect the traffic for the most part one redirect rule should get all the clients using that port range, I remember before there was a way to look up the app db to see if a game was in there not sure if it still works.

So I suppose I can combine the ports for the first PC as "49670:49679, 58434:58559"

If I run out of lines in the end as I add them for the second PC, how would I hard code them into the script? Is there a guide in this thread showing how modify the script?

 

[Kingp1n]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I made a post earier in this thread that gives the basic format, which still works under the current version:
#1944

You have to edit the /jffs/scripts/FreshJR_QOS script yourself. After you ssh into the router, you can use the built-in nano text editor as such:

nano -wt /jffs/scripts/FreshJR_QOS

Put the download rules in this section:

        ##DOWNLOAD (INCOMMING TRAFFIC) CUSTOM RULES START HERE  -- legacy method

Put any upload rules in this section:

        ##UPLOAD (OUTGOING TRAFFIC) CUSTOM RULES START HERE  -- legacy method

As you look at the FreshJR_QOS script, you will get an idea of what the basic layout is. As long as you only need to make rules for specific IP addresses or ports, you will find examples already in the script that you can mimic. If you need a solution a little more custom than that, you may need to hit your favorite search engine for help with ip6tables, but there are also other members of the community that may be able to provide some guidance with specific rules.

@Tekneek , thanks for the info. Dumb question so I have enabled IPV6 on the router...when I go to my Xbox , I can see the the Xbox now sees both the IPV4 and IPV6. I'm assuming the IPV6 that I see here it's the info I'll have to manually add to the script correct? Also will this IPV6 ever change when I turn on/off the Xbox ? Again sorry for the noob questions.

IPv6 fresh jr was working on implementing into the script he stated in a prior post.

Actually Vexira, IPv6 APPDB-related stuff works. Just not the IP adddress related stuff (I believe)

Who knows at this point he could possibly change his mind.

No what i'm saying is in the current version of the script (which I am using) - IPv6 APPDB rules work fine, it's just things related to IP address which don't yet work (unless FreshJr fixes it).

I know what you said what I'm implying is that the IP address might be implemented in the next release.

The default configuration of in Asuswrt-Merlin will probably have every Ipv6 device deriving their own address through SLAAC (https://howdoesinternetwork.com/2013/slaac can explain it a bit). This means it may not be the same everytime. I have a configuration on mine that makes assignments stateful and static, because I need that kind of management on my network. It's outside the scope of this thread, though, so message me directly if you'd like some help going down that road.

My QOS category priority settings under Custom Settings revert to factory default on the main QOS webgui page after every reboot on my RT-AC86U running on Merlin 384.13.0 with FreshJR Adaptive QOS ?

After going back into Custom button and resetting my personal category preferences - Save - Apply - the settings stick until the next reboot.
Interestingly - RAM usage also drops just after resetting Custom priorities?

Any ideas on how to fix so settings remain through reboots as they always do on my other routers? [see signature].

Known issue......suppose to be fixed in next Asus Firmware update.

Asus has just released Version 3.0.0.4.384.81049 a few days ago - and it makes no claim to have fixed Adaptive QOS bugs.
Version 3.0.0.4.384.45149 released on 2018/12/05 was the most recent time that Asus claims to have - Fixed “Adaptive QoS” bugs?

I am running MerlinWare 384.13.0 on my AC86U which, as I recall, is based on Stock Version 3.0.0.4.384.45717.

Has anyone found that Asus Stock Version 3.0.0.4.384.81049 has in fact fixed the QOS category settings retention problem on reboots?

Yes, I've tried the latest firmware. This QOS reboot issue is fixed.
