| Going from DD-WRT to Tomato for QoS I've had my WRT54GL for a few months now and have been very happy with it, on the whole, running DD-WRT v24-SP1.
The only thing I have never been happy with is the QoS. I have tweaked the hell out of it but it never seems to make anything other than a marginal difference, if that.
Case in point, tonight I was downloading a large file (4GB) via FTP. I set a rule for FTP lowering its priority to Bulk and WoW was set to Express. I login to WoW and instead of my normal ping of ~75 I am sitting around 1,500.
I even telnet'd into the router itself to check that the rules were being applied correctly, and they were.
I then completely erased all of my QoS settings and re-did them all based on their port number instead of the service name (layer7). I thought perhaps this would make a difference. I logged into WoW and again saw a gigantic ping, so clearly my traffic was not being prioritised correctly.
I googled around and saw that I was not the only one who thought that DD-WRT's QoS was bad, and many posts recommended Tomato both in general and for QoS specifically.
So, can anyone here give me any advice or their experiences with regards to QoS on Tomato? I've been happy with DD-WRT to date but fully working QoS is something I would quite like to happen, and I've spent literally hours and hours recently tweaking the QoS on DD-WRT with essentially no results. |
