Gargoyle Forum

Hi Eric

Have you any suggestions in ways we could isolate the problem?

I have a Routerstation pro in which I could replace the TP-Link with and use the exact same configuration and location for a comparison if this would be of any use to you?

I've been running it again with quotas on for a couple of days without trouble. The only difference I have made is there is that I now have only one ip address in my quota (my wifi ip address) whereas before I had two ip addresses in my quota (wifi and ethernet ip addresses). I'm not sure if that would cause a difference.

I will continue to monitor performance, and I have asked my flatmates to report if they are suffering degraded performance as well.

Thanks for the help,

Daniel.

ispyisail: What I need is a way to reproduce the problem with 100% certainty. I need a set of configuration settings I can set in a clean install which will cause the sluggish behavior 100% of the time (or even a very high percentage of the time).

This is true of almost all bugs reported on this forum: once I can reproduce the error, I can almost always figure out what's going on and fix it. However, if I can't get the error to show up in a test system I have no way of tracking down and fixing the issue.

Update:

After many days of usage and slow GUI performance it just came right one day?

I think it has something to with router load?

I have now upgraded to 1.3.14. Performance is so far good.

see what happens

update

The problem started again

I've found the problem is with QOS(upload) and network traffic

If I turn off QOS (upload) the problem goes away. Enable it again and the GUI slows down.

QOS(download) has no effect on the GUI speed either enabled or disabled

Hi

Did you make any progress with this problem the last days?

I am planning to buy this very router, but I need proper upload QoS for it and it makes me nervous to read, that this may cause big trouble with Gargoyle.

I'm using the same router and after several months, it developed the same problem. Serious sluggishness. When I disconnect from the router, and reconnect, it seems better sometimes for a while. But sometimes it even disconnects the device from Wi-Fi. I do use the Quotas, quite similar to the setup that @daniels presented above.

Setup:
Gargoyle Version:1.8.0
Model:TP-Link TL-WR1043N/ND v2
Device Configuration:Gateway
Memory Usage:17.9MB / 60MB (29.8%)
Connections:150/4096
CPU Load Averages:0.01 / 0.05 / 0.05 (1/5/15 minutes)

When it has a problem, it can take even a minute to display the home page where you can login.

I'd appreciate help. Quotas work great!

Hi dont no if this is same bug as this thread is 5 years old, but try updating to 1.81 and if you are on a cable ISP like virgin in the UK try setting a Custom MTU. Mine is set to 1492. If i leev my MTU set to 1500 i get dropped packets. + tick   Drop Ping From WAN Side. If you try out 1.9 there is a bug with the option that says   Force Clients To Use Router DNS Servers so dont tick that.
