how do you deal with bufferbloat? do you use cake sqm or some hardware accelerated qos like adaptive on asus routers?
I just don't think about it.
>>106738902For fighting games?I highly recommend you don't use Asus's implementation of it because it requires you to consent to telemetry just to use a basic feature.You can get something like Unifi or flash a router to use openwrt which has a great implementation of it. You can also buy openwrt based routers that will allow you to download it via packages. Budget/usecase?
>>106738974i have a wrt1900acs with open wrt and cake sqm works perfectly on my 600/60 docsis connection. wifi is weak though. got an asus ax86u for free which fixes the wifi but the qos is finicky, at least in tests. not sure if i'll really tell in games or calls, but i might get a flint 2, flash it and have both. not sure if it's worth it though.
>>106738998If I recall you make the Asus a AP instead and connect it to your openwrt router.The main router should handle bufferbloat and the other router just works as a wifi access point. I do that with my current setup because my main router is opensense.
>>106738902>do you use cake sqmyes
>>106738902I may use it, but my Flint 2 is already giving me headaches as-is
>>106738998marvell wifi is absolute shit even with all the patches, like the other poster said use the asus router as a AP or just swap it all out for the flint 2
>>106739932Hardware QoS is total dogshit on consumer routers no matter which mfg.
>>106738974>don't use Asus's implementation of it because it requires you to consent to telemetry just to use a basic feature.Those niggers fell off big time. This is a good opportunity for new players to step in.
>>106738902why should i care again
>>106741198because you have more data coming across your lan than your wan can handle at once so you need to use something to queue up the outgoing packets? if that doesnt describe your situation then you shouldnt care
>>106741150What's crazy is the router is like 4 years old so it must be worse by now
>>106738902>bufferbloatwhat is bufferbloat and what does it do?
>>106738902use an actual connection.inb4 but I can'tskill issue
>>106741779It keeps connections stable by throttling it, useful in situations where stability is key like fighting games where jitters and instability can ruin the experience as well as some cases when doing streaming ect. Just makes your there's no spikes that can cause latency and other foolishness.
>>106738902Bufferbloat is a Jewish invention meant to push niggercattle to buy new routers that can't even QoS 70% of line rate, chasing the delusion that it will make their 3rd world 50mbps DSL connection any good. 88
Bufferbloat """tests""" always say that my latency increases by 50ms on a loaded connection, but when I run my own tests on various game servers and VPSs, my latency is fucking static. Doesn't move at all.I wonder why they advertise routers on the same page that claims you have extreme bufferbloat.
>>106741846The fuck are you saying retard you can flash a cheap router and still get this functionality while having a better system than that low price point router. Fuck off
>>106741883No one actually does this you stupid fucking ape. The normal "tech-savvy" gamer will just go out and buy the latest and greatest WiFi 7 AI-enabled gaming spider router. You are majorly autistic if you think even 0.1% of bufferbloat victims are gonna flash some CFW on their router.
>>106741946Yeah you're fucking retarded. Take your meds before speaking to me. I'm not going to reply so get your cope post and go somewhere else and be a human gnat
>>106738902By living alone and controlling my traffic when lower latency is desired
>bufferbloatUnless you're running on some 20mbps connection while torrenting and someone trying to stream 4k on your network, good luck noticing it.
>>106739671how so? it seems to be the standard rec for openwrt routers
>>106741875could be the priority ordering of the hardware qos, that can happen when web traffic is lower in the hierarchy.
>>106741784Dude... it's impossible in my place to get shit done in my apartment my internet provider gives us the router and the wifi is crap when trying to play on my PS. The stupid thing is in the other room and lags all the time
>>106743802Weird issue with my phone where it says it doesn't have Internet when connected to the router (still gets an IP via DHCP) and I think over time it gets slower or drops packets with my laptop (had to restart the network service or reboot the router), like I needed to reload twice webpages because assets wouldn't loadVery weird stuff. And I didn't manage to have functional IPv6 yet. I suck at the lower levels of networking t b h.I am switching back to the ISP-provided modem/router for the moment, which has its own set of issues
>>106738902i have that router in your picture running sqm so i don't get fucked when playing valorant
>>106738902buy a higher tier modem+router or use a mini PC (openWRT) -> access point for wifi?
>>106738902I don't download heavily while doing latency-sensitive tasks.If I do need to download while i'm doing something that's latency sensitive i'll cap my download to half of my available bandwidth, which is still over 1gbps and then I get no bufferbloat.
ur mom is bloated lmao
>>106745079Put this firmware on ithttps://github.com/pesa1234/MT6000_cust_buildBasically, stock firmware is a very old modified version of openwrt with proprietary blobs. Stock openwrt is open source drivers and seems to perform slightly worse than stock. The custom build is bleeding edge polished by autism, I've had some flakiness on stock openwrt a year ago but this build has been rock solid.
>>106748836Yeah I saw that firmware on the openwrt forum. Keep in mind my current issues are with the latest version of the default Glinet firmware, so I'm not totally sure this is using the OSS drivers.Thanks for the pointer b t w, it means quite a bit to me, this broken stuff has depressed a little bit
>>106738902I just learned to stop worrying about it and love the bufferbloat.
>>106740871Because the linux kernal can't into qos natively. Not only are all the implementations terrible or broken but also that the 4 core cpu on your consoomer router that only ever processes packets on one core suffers from all the common compute to completion issues. Only recently have non cake implementations of schedulers become deficit weighted and this is by far not the standard for linux kernals because Linux fucking blows at networking. Just use VPP, never let the mongoloidal brown disgusting kernal molest your packets.
>>106750297>linux blows at networkingcompared to what?
>>106750346Compared to userspace processes or hardware built for networking. I mentioned what you should use already: VPP. It's also not contained to some zero sum game Linux can just suck on its own if the kernal was worth a fuck for networking compare to everything else it could still have all the same problems. Relative performance doesn't handwave the problems.
>>106745079I was having similar issues with my iPhone connection. I disabled all but one WLAN channel(5ghz) and it seems to worked around the issue.
>>106738902Have a fast enough internet connection that you'll never run into bufferbloat
>>106751178You can still see it in synthetic testing, but yes you'll largely not be able to see it impact you at all in the real world with 1gbps+ connections.
>>106751160Didn't work for me. Thanks for the tip nonetheless
>>106750379This retard has no idea what he's talking about Linux and bsd based routers are fine
