GL.iNet GL-MT6000 - AQL and WiFi Latency

Those settings look okay for now. Definitely an improvement over the previous defaults.

I typically set the AQL low and high limit to be equal which effectively bypasses the AQL threshold altogether, thus forcing all STAs to the AQL high limit even if there are not 2+ STAs competing for airtime. (Ref: How OpenWrt Vanquishes Bufferbloat - #20 by tohojo)

With the settings as you’ve defined, an STA will be operating with a 3x higher AQL limit at least some of the time as compared to what I’ve shown in my testing where 1500 seems to be a pretty ideal target all the time.

This is a good start though and should allow for a wider test base as you get this into your updated build! Once more users can test these settings “in the field”, we can see what knobs to twist next :wink:
