Hi, Ive had a issue with downloads but only when using PS5.
Default setting is 150 concurrent dns queries on openwrt, when i download a game my internet freezes on other devices except for my PS5, ive narrowed it done to this setting in DHCP and DNS and limit tab and i have changed Max. concurrent queries to 5000 and rebooted router. I tried again to download and has now fixed my issue. This has only started on 24.10.3 and 24.10.4 has anyone else experinced this issue? Thanks
Please run
ubus call system board
killall -s USR1 dnsmasq ; sleep 5 ; logread -e dnsmasq | tail
cat /etc/config/dhcp
Unlikely 150 inflight queries are there without upstream being slow to respond.

Sounds more like an issue with queuing. Did you run a buffer bloat test like https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat already?
im going to do a full fresh install and see if that cures my issue before i go any further.
You can rise cachesize to 10000 and probably min ttl in same page to 1h
upstream and bloat looks great, also router is incredibly good.
Fresh install has cleared any issues i was having.
