i'll add a label on the webui in the next versionAh, okay. I was unclear on what that option really did. I did not realize it shutdown cake during the speed tests. Makes sense!

which qos method are you using?Lot's of questions here related to QoS - I'll throw in one more. Recently, I'd decided to try out the AutoBW feature. What I noticed is that my spdMerlin results started gradually degrade over the course of past three days. I blamed my ISP first, had an unnecessarily angry call with the support - they suggested to reset the router. I didn't want go that far, so I decided to poke around the router settings first. What I discovered is that disabling QoS get's me back to my original bandwidth. Some more digging around, and I found out that "Exclude from QoS" option does absolutely nothing - spdMerlin obeys the QoS maximum download bandwidth regardless of the setting. Any suggestions?
I'm on Merlin 386.1_2, spdMerlin 4.1.1, _Traditional QoS_.

That's what I suspected - thanks!which qos method are you using?
edit: never mind, I see you're using traditional qos. currently only adaptive and cake are supported.
I figured it out. Below steps in case anyone else needs to do something similar:Hi all!
Question, how to I get the list of IDs for all available servers? I am from CR, so I only get local servers which provide unreal results. I need to be able to configure it against a server in USA, for instance Comcast in Miami.
Thanks!
is that a preferred or automatic server? if preferred, it might not exist anymoreMar 22 11:30:01 spdMerlin: Starting speedtest using Virgin Media (Manchester, United Kingdom) for WAN interface
Mar 22 11:30:06 spdMerlin: Error running speedtest for WAN
Mar 22 11:30:06 spdMerlin: DEBUG: csv generation starting
Mar 22 11:30:09 spdMerlin: DEBUG: csv generation ended

@Jack Yaz Had this in the error log today and the speedtest won't run on the WAN. Currently running CAKE and the previous WAN speed tests were giving me full d/l & u/l speed test results. CAKE only applying to the LAN interface.
Spot on the money!! Weird thing is, I was using the Virgin Media Manchester server for this. I wonder if they've blacklisted me!is that a preferred or automatic server? if preferred, it might not exist anymore
do you have "exclude from QoS" enabled? if not, please enable itNew to this forum and the Merlin-Asus firmware.
AutoBW is throwing me for a loop. Maybe I don't understand how it is suppose to work. Please forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong location. I just figured since it is under the spMerlin tab that this thread would be ok.
My bandwidth is degraded heavily when I enable this function. My bandwidth is 90/18 (Comcast Docsis 3.1). I have a RT-Ax86u. After enabling the AutoBW my upload is basically untouched but my download is decrease to less than 60 sometimes. Does the function stop at some point to does it continue to decrease. The setting are for AutoBW are all at default values. As of right now I have it disabled. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
It would be the same /tmp/qos stop command.do you have "exclude from QoS" enabled? if not, please enable it
next version will force it on as well as adding support for built-in cake
@dave14305 don't suppose you're familiar with traditional qos, and how one might temporarily disable it/add a rule for speedtests to skip it, please?
thats an error in the speedtest application, not much i can do about that....unless....please runI'm trying Merlin and AMTM for the first time and spdMerlin does not test when i run test, chanign options beween prefered servers etc. does not do anything, results in errors in console, and setting run automated speedtest to no does not save or if it saves it does not load.
In amtm interface it says that automatic speedtests are disabled so at least that.
What should I do to make it work?
ps | grep spdmerlin
ps | grep speedtest
indeed it seems they have, but theyre available through speedtest.netNot technically a fault of spdMerlin, but has anyone else noticed that all Virgin Media speedtest servers have disappeared?
I only noticed because I have spdMerlin set to use one but for the past few days I noticed the speed check was failing.
I was wondering the same thing.indeed it seems they have, but theyre available through speedtest.net
I wonder if they've blacklisted ookla's speedtest binary or something (useragent)
Yes I'd noticed this when I wondered why the test wouldn't run and Jack asked me to check the preferred server.Not technically a fault of spdMerlin, but has anyone else noticed that all Virgin Media speedtest servers have disappeared?

What it looks like on the surface is that spdMerlin will attempt to active any/all possible QoS types if they have any artifacts on the router. If Adaptive QoS is enabled but the /tmp/qos script still exists because the router hasn’t required a reboot, then spdMerlin will activate both.@Jack Yaz
There may be an issue with spdmerlin messing up the qdisc as per the below post. Dave recommended posting in this thread for you to check. CAKE is somewhat reverting, possibly after spdmerlin does a test and the qdisc then becomes some sort of mash up. Replicated this with box FlexQos on A.QoS and then just plain A.QoS.
Beta - Asuswrt-Merlin 386.2 Beta is now available
Switched to CAKE, deleted FlexQoS then switched back to A.QoS. Gave the below log.www.snbforums.com
