WMM and QOS
Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2015 5:04 pm
Hi,
First off will say just installed Gargoyle. At a secondhand store I came across a WNDR3800CH for cheap so I bought it. Came to find out the "CH" variant is actually an ISP-branded model that potentially has some kind of backdoor built into the netgear firmware for the ISP to supposedly troubleshoot problems. So needless to say I wanted to rid myself of that firmware before using it.
Ended up trying dd-wrt first because I had used it before, but that was unsuccessful. Then I tried to flash a stock netgear firmware and that bricked it, because apparently the name string is different and it just crashes itself (thank goodness for TFTP). So then I found openwrt and put Luci on it but found Luci to be very limiting in its interface. So then found gargoyle, installed 1.7.2. This is basically like the netgear firmware with some nice additions, so I think I'll finally install this router on my home network.
Only question I have is regarding the QoS settings. If I just enable QoS checkbox (UL/DL) without adding any classifications does that pretty much function in this firmware the same way as WMM would by default? I.E. prioritizing voip > video > other traffic? Or does it need further config to do this?
Thanks, great interface you guys have made btw!
