(Question) SQM Setup Question

Installing and Using OpenWrt

  1. measuring latency under load within the internal network can be done with Crusader (straight forward application) or Flent (has more options but is also more difficult to use)

  2. On access points you can experiment with codel target and aql to get latency down - see also GL.iNet GL-MT6000 - AQL and WiFi Latency (see post 71 for my results) and Reducing multiplexing latencies still further in wifi
    What I noticed is that using a DFS channel (i.e. 100) reduces latency as well

  3. the custom build from peas1234 has already several optimizations built-in for latency reduction - see MT6000 custom build with LuCi and some optimization - kernel 6.6.x
    (when flashing, make sure to not keep settings)

  4. for SQM on the main router you can compare between fq_codel + simple.qos vs cake+piece_of_cake.qos (set interface on the wan port)
