1 edit | [Tomato] QOS Help Hey Guys,
I've been playing around with QOS on my Asus RT-N16 and Tomato.
I cannot figure out how to get it to work properly, I have a newsgroup service that I download from and usually at full speed but I want it to drop the speed when I'm browsing or trying to watch videos on youtube and such.
Right now I while I am watching youtube and such, Youtube still stutters and and I see that the newsgroup stuff is not downloading at a slower speed.
Attached are screen shot of my setup.
Please help! thanks
P.S. I understand this is the Linksys forum but since Tomato was ported for the Linksys router and so many of the smart folks around here I thought I'd post here. |

Thanks for adding the screen. Here are the changes you need to make.
Step #1 - QOS-BASIC, Change Outbound "Highest" from "None - 100%" to "100% - 100%".
Step #2 - QOS-BASIC, Change Outbound "Medium" from "5% - 100%" to "25% - 90%".
It takes QOS several seconds to adjust the speed of any stream. If Medium is idling at 100% then Highest cannot take 100% for about 6 or 8 seconds.
Step #3 - QOS-Basic, Change Inbound Limit for "Highest" from "None" to "100%"
The various bullshit you read about not being able to control inbound speed (Including Polar Cloud's FAQ) is simply wrong.
Step #4 - QOS-Basic, Change Inbound Limit for "Medium" from "50%" to "95%". This is assuming that usenet as defined on the Basic Settings page is the newsgroup service you want to control to a lower priority. As is, the rule is limiting inbound traffic of the news group to 50%.
Step #5 - QOS-Classification, Change the 3rd rule for WWW from "Transferred 0 - 512kb" to "Transferred 0 - 0" KB. This will force all WWW traffic to highest class regardless of amount of traffic. The rule as is will revert WWW traffic over 512 KB back to the default class (Medium), which you do not want.
Always verify with the pie charts that your various traffic is being classified properly. Run a few speed checks for UP/Down speeds here at DSLR and use the average values as the reference speeds. The notion of using 90% is flakey and does not hold up in real world tests. It is only a basic point of reference. There is no "Fold-Over" if you are set too high. Only people who have never tested it will say there is. |

Hey thanks!, I think this step may have been my problem. I will have to test tonight. |

ahh i gave up on this crap. I even had all traffic for my server set to low and all traffic from my desktop set to highest and you tube was still stuttering and was not buffering in full.
turned of QOS, until I can find some proper documentation somewhere I say this feature is dead and not working. |
