Hello guys,hope you are going well.
I need help when it comes to setting the upload and download values correctly.
Here is what im running with atm:
- D-Link DSL-2750U rev C1 (Router)
-ADSL connection with my ISP capping it at 10mbps download and 1mbps upload (Sometimes download goes up to 12mbps but the upload is hard capped and wont go past 1mbps)
The issue im dealing with is that there is +8-13ms latency when upload starts and i cant seem to figure out how to deal with it no matter the value i set.
Is there anything i am missing? Help.
Please post the output of:
a) ifstatus wan | grep device
b) cat /etc/config/sqm
c) tc -s qdisc
Just make sure you "sandwich" your text between two rows of backtick characters ` (which themselves will be invisible in the preview) looking in something like this in the editor:
```
Your Pasted Text as preformatted text with fixed width font
1
1111 (note with fixed-width fonts the numbers are right-aligned)
```
but looking like this in the rendered forum:
Your Pasted Text as preformatted text with fixed width font
1
1111 (note with fixed-width fonts the numbers are right-aligned)
Or:
Please use the "Preformatted text </>" button for logs, scripts, configs and general console output.
Please edit your post accordingly. Thank you! 
A quick sanity check transferring a full MTU sized packet (~1650 bytes with ATM/AAL5) at 1 Mbps takes:
1000 * (1650 * 8) / (1 * 1000^2) = 13.2 ms
So on a loaded link there is on average at least one packet already ion the queue and anywhere from 0 to 100% transmitted, so on average you can expect a delay of 7-8 ms... so it might be that all is as good as you can expect with such slow a link....
Sure thing. Here is everything you requested:

For the first command (ifstatus wan | grep device) nothing happens. Any idea?
That is odd, what does ifstatus wan return? and what does ifconfig return?
See the latency targets for your upload shapers:
eth0.2:
qdisc cake 8009: dev eth0.2 root refcnt 2 bandwidth 650Kbit besteffort triple-isolate nonat nowash no-ack-filter split-gso rtt 100ms atm overhead 44
[...]
target 27.9ms
interval 123ms
and
ifb4wlan0:
qdisc cake 800e: dev ifb4wlan0 root refcnt 2 bandwidth 300Kbit besteffort triple-isolate nonat wash no-ack-filter split-gso rtt 100ms atm overhead 44
[...]
target 60.6ms
interval 156ms
Under load you have to expect that the standing queue in cake approaches (or even exceeds) the configured latency target, so your reported +8 to +13 milliseconds is to be expected.
And the reason why these target values are above the 5 ms default vale is because your uplink is really slow and so cake adjust these values as it otherwise would cause too many drops on your uplink...
But for curiosity, could you please post screen shots of the full data of:
(I want to see the individual plots as well, not just the summary evaluation report).
We can also quickly run the numbers for the DSL side of things:
at max IP size of 1452 and overhead 44, at 650 Kbps a single full sized packet will block the link for:
1000 * (ceil((1452 + 44) / 48) * 53 * 8) / (650 * 1000^1) = 20.8738461538 -> ~21ms
And on average under saturating load there will be half a packet in front so from this serialisation delay alone you need to expect ~10ms delay, which falls well within your reported range.
Ah I see, I had accidentally included the word return in my instructions, sorry.
Please try:
ifstatus wan
ifconfig
Let's quickly run the numbers for what rates to expect for IPv4:
Download: 10 * ((1491 - 20 - 20) / (ceil((1491+44) / 48) * 53)) = 8.555 Mbps
Upload: 0.65 * ((1491 - 20 - 20) / (ceil((1491+44) / 48) * 53)) = 0.556 Mbps
So your speed test fall a bit short but not catastrophically, and latency under load seems also OKish, given your slow uplink.

ifstatus wan shows nothing.
Do you think that sqm autorate would help in this situation?
cake-autorate can help if the achievable throughput varies a lot over the day. But if you can get these 7/0.5 Mbps all day round then I am not sure what autorate would bring to the table...
Makes sense, no need for autorate then.
