What is your Maximum Upload Bandwidth percentage for File Downloads in FlexQoS?I think it may have been on before. I'll give it a day or two to see if it happens again. Thanks for the help.
maybe i should just force Manual in nvram...Hi @Jack Yaz, one thing to be mindful of when invoking AutoBW is to make sure the user isn't using Automatic Bandwidth in QoS. If they are, both qos_obw and qos_ibw will equal 0 in nvram. No one really recommends using it, but some people still do. I've been running into this more and more lately.
I left all of my max values at 100%. I tried to only adjust my minimums.What is your Maximum Upload Bandwidth percentage for File Downloads in FlexQoS?

had same problem, I've reset amtm and it's fine nowI noticed today, right after i updated my AX86U to the final 386.1 firmware from Merlin that the Add-Ons webUI tab is not there anymore... and i can't access spdMerlin, any suggestion? I tried update and force update, and it did nothing to the webui? Everything else is fine... i am worried if i uninstall and then re-install it might fix it, but i will lose my gathered data, right?
I had issues recently with the Ookla method of selecting a server for the speedtest. I believe it uses the shortest ping time. In my case, it caused much lower results with the server it selected.** Ookla vs nPerf vs speedtest give different results **
Hi! Recently, I change my modem for a faster one TC 4400 (max speed=940 Mbps) and I also increase my ISP's package to 400 Mbps download max.
The nice addon spdmerlin (executed at 30 minutes interval since the last 12 days) show me an average speed of 300 Mbps with a maximum around 330 Mbps.
right now, spdmerlin show me a current speed of 330 Mbps but when contacting my ISP, they confirm me that the current speed between my modem and their infrastructure is around 450 Mbps!!
I did some tests:
1. My windows 10 PC connected directly on modem using nPerf (web or native) tests show 451 Mbps
2. The same PC connected on 1 Gbps port on my Asus RT-AC3200 port show 453 Mbps
3. spdmerlin on that same router show 326 Mbps
Is this a limitation on Ookla used by spdmerlin ?
Is it due to my router CPU performance ?
I do not have the knowledge to run nPerf unix version of my router, so I cannot show this result.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Is Windows selecting the same speedtest server as spdmerlin? It looks like ebox.ca uses nperf.com technology/servers. spdMerlin/Asus use Ookla.@L&LD: Thanks for your fast reply.
No, I am NOT using QOS.
Router has been rebooted before testings.
To resume:
test 1: Windows+speedtest ----------> RT-AC3200 --------------------> Modem -------> ISP shows 447 Mbps
test 2: Windows+web(nperf.com) ----> RT-AC3200 --------------------> Modem -------> ISP shows 453 Mbps
test 3: Windows+web(nperf.com) ---------------------------------------> Modem -------> ISP shows 451 Mbps
test 4: RT-AC3200+spdmerlin --------> Modem -------> ISP shows 344 Mbps
On all tests, I select the SAME test server (ebox.ca) which is my ISP

Open a router SSH session in one window and runSo, Ookla running on a PC connected to router shows 428 Mbps
and Ookla running directly on that same router shows 325 Mbps.

. Watch the % idle on the second line. Start the test from the router GUI or another SSH session. But keep watching the number to the left of idle. Report the highest percent you see during the test.@dave14305:Open a router SSH session in one window and runtop -d 1

A speedtest running on the router will always be more constrained than a speedtest just passing through the router.
