QoS max speeds changed themselves?

I have a TP-Link WDR4300, with the latest 1.8 firmware. I was trying out a speedtest, and comparing it to the DSLReports test. My speed started going down, first to about half, at which point I tried disabling QoS. Doing that, the speeds were normal (along with the normal lousy bufferbloat score). I...

Re: Disappointing bufferbloat

. . . Remember that unlike other firmwares, Gargoyle doesn't need many QoS rules because it has per IP sharing. The rules orangetek showed should work for most because of this (unless you have a slower or easily congested connection). Basically, Gargoyle equally divides the available bandwidth betw...

Re: Disappointing bufferbloat

It works because anything other than important packets (0-512 bytes) go to the default service class. You could set the percentages 50/50 and it would work the same because the packets in the classification rule would never use 50% of your bandwidth. Understanding what those packets are and why the...

Re: Disappointing bufferbloat

Do the following, and test again. Make sure you change your total upload/download bandwidth accordingly.

Re: Disappointing bufferbloat

The Best Tests for bufferbloat: http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Quick_Test_for_Bufferbloat Thanks. I had read that page, along with most everything else I could find. The tests I was doing was from the first link of that page. But this time, I went further, and tried the other link...

Disappointing bufferbloat

I recently switched from DD-WRT to Gargoyle (1.8.0) on my TP-Link WRT4300 router. I've been testing basic QoS on both using just the basic default values, with no added rules using the speedtest at dslreports.com, which has a score for bufferbloat. With DD-WRT, I was often getting a score of A or A+...

Re: Some clarification on installing

Well, I'm not really familiar with the reset procedures, since I haven't needed them yet, and I hope to never need 'em. It's probably not that hard, but until I've done it, I'll never know. If I knew I could do it easily, perhaps I'd be more adventurous. From what I've heard, I think I'll probably f...

Re: Some clarification on installing

The link you provided relates to DD-WRT which is a different animal to OpenWRT http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2611 (With DD-WRT you must go to stock then to Gargoyle) I have never tried it, but I would expect that you can flash directly from OpenWRT to Gargoyle using t...

Re: Some clarification on installing

1, it seems that openwrt said I would need to go back to the factory rom before upgrading. I saw some discussion on the Gargoyle forum saying I might be able to upgrade directly. Should I try directly, and if so, which configuration should I use? check with the openwrt wiki on your router So, if th...

Some clarification on installing

I have a TP-WDR4300 V1.4 router , currently with a working DD-WRT version (their recommended stable version, a few years old). It works OK, but I'm not too crazy about it or their forum, and was considering openwrt, when someone suggested Gargoyle. Gargoyle looks good, but I have a few questions. 1,...
