TP-Link Archer ax23 v1.2 openwrt SQM

[Gnzo]

Hello everyone, I installed OpenWRT firmware on my Archer AX23 v1.2 router about a day ago. The main purpose of installing OpenWRT was to set up the SQM system and address the 'bufferbloat' issue in my internet. After completing the installation and configuring the SQM system, the results were not quite as expected. If there is anyone who can help with this, I would be very grateful.

i am also using 1gb gigafiber 1gb download / 1gb upload.

without SQM result :

I don't know how to optimize SQM settings in the first place. i try a lot settings from youtube and forum sites. i didnt got any A+ result.

if its nor working maybe my ethernet or router. how i can return my stock firmware because i buy router 2 days ago i can give it back.

Openwrt version : [LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch]

an mt7621 device is not a good choise for SQM at this speed.

Hi @Gnzo
I reverted OpenWRT to vendor stock firmware using this website
https://argsnd.github.io/tp-link-stock-firmware-converter/index.html

And I just want to know how good Wifi performance is.
I had low wifi speed experience when I tried snapshot image on v1.0 so i'm feeling a little hesitated.
Main issue I noticed for mt7621 chipset (I have Mi 4A gigabit too) was that it doesn't have HW offloading for wifi.
Plus, mt7621's cpu already reached it's 99% cpu usage for 350mbps while stock F/W use 40% for 700mbps.
So.. on official 23.05 and v1.2, how good is the performance?

i open this settings for get 1gb speed. if i close this settings speed is arround 200 mbs. and idk if its effecting wifi speed also.

About wifi test.

test phone : redmi note 9 pro

1. next to router directly with 5g
   
   

2.test behind 4 different wall.

There was a site, use that site to turn tp link firmware image into, then that site turns it into openwrt acceptable format. Then you flash that tp link firmware in the openwrt flashing section.

u mean here sir ?

and after i will install from here ?

sqm and hardware flow-offloading does not work, sqm and software flow-offloading is technically working, but you lose most of the benefit of the software flow-offloading that way - and this hardware isn't fast enough to do sqm/cake at 1 GBit/s line-speed, far from it.

So you have 500Mbps-1Gbps fiber and need a router READ THIS FIRST

It's such a frequently asked question over the last few years that we really need a post we can point people to. So your cable company rolled out 500Mbps or 1Gbps download speeds, or you have 1Gbps symmetric fiber (GPON/EPON) from ATT or Centurylink or Orange or whoever. You realize your old all in one router from 2009 is not up to the task of handling this, but hey by now stuff should be cheap and available that will handle your new fiber connection right? So you want advice about a router for…

filogic 820/ 830 might do, x86_64 (e.g. alderlake-n n100) certainly will - RPi4 or the faster rockchip SOCs (the newer Nano-Pis) should do.
