I will use them mainly for gaming (CS2). I'm trying to lower my bufferbloat so i decided to buy router. I have TPLink one and been using it for week. Installed openwrt and using SQM. I have 200 download-30 upload internet speeds. Cake, piece of cake settings are not stable +100 mbit download. Even struggling going up to +100 mbit.(Without SQM speeds are 220-30) And get worse bufferbloat scores with SQM. The best settings i found is 65000kbps download, 19000kbps upload. With that settings i get 0 ms download-upload bufferbloat scores on waveform. My question is why i can't get higher download speeds with SQM? Found Asus one has more ram and flash ram MB but same CPU. Price diference is around 15 dollars on my country. Does Asus one get more download speeds with SQM should i change it or keep TPLink?
Kind of you answered your question. Unless you state "your country" we cannot watch over your shoulder, eg if generally cheap cudy or glinet are sold in stores.
I'm From Turkiye. So you mean RAM size's are not important for SQM. Don't need to change router for that.

Type mt79 or rk for CPU
Thanks for help. They are like 3x price compare to these 2 routers. I was just curious why i cannot get past to 100+mbit stable and got the answer. Router's CPU was not enough. 65-19 mbit speeds are enough for gaming i don't think spending that much for getting around 200 mbit download when gaming is clever idea. If i want to download things i can disable SQM in 3 seconds and download.
You can try controlling only upload. Ie zero for download.
But without lowering download speed bufferbloat numbers are so much
Maybe show the numbers youre fighting? (links to waveform tests)
Method is rather simple:
Disable SqM and reboot router
Connect wired to LAN side (wifi adds 5-50ms latency if you get any competing transmissions in channel)

Now set ingress to zero and egress to half of measured upload (1Mb eq 1024kb)
Measure again
Now set it to 2/3 3/4 4/5 etc , when latency starts to go up make a step back.
If DL latency is not yet fixed repeat with download direction.
200/30 should be ok, total forwarding without offload or sqm is 300-400Mbps.
Thanks. I did a lot of testing with AX23 router and lantencies was starting to going up after getting past 100Mbps download. The best settings was 65/19. Changing the methods was doing something. (Cake, fq_codel thing) But it wasn't as stable as 65/19 cake pice of cake method. I found Asus AX59-U router around 90 dollars in my country. Will try with it.
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=a96157e2-3619-4c91-8a3f-848e29460137 this was fq_codel and simple method i think.
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=753ddff0-0941-46e8-bb19-2a6df1c4afe1 fq_codel and simple (or simplest idk it was default thing with fq_codel)
https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=8f11a4e5-6a99-4951-b060-61b1324c38ce cake and pice of cake 65/19
Don't remember what was the speed limits for other tests but it still can't go past around 130-140 Mbit download with SQM. (fq_codel, cake tried every settings) Cake and piece of cake was even struggling going past 100Mbit.
First picture is the best, cake is quite CPU intensive, thing 7621 is not very rich at.
Yeah i figured it out. Will try with Asus AX59U. Thanks for helps
