nfastsagar Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 i am a power user. every once in a while I need all the bandwidth I can get. it lasts for weeks. day and night downloading nonstop. it messes up everyone else connection in the home. so i had to limit my bandwidth. after getting ASUS RT-AC5300 & modding it with a 3rd party app (marlin) the adoptive QOS i was able to use 100% bandwidth, also everyone else was getting good speed without any issue. i set the router in a way that when anyone wanna watch 4k or browse the social network it drops the background download speed and give them the bandwidth. the moment they stop i get the full download speed back. i like the geo filter on duma os but can it do the same qos like Asus? or even better? nph84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzy Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 On paper, it is supposed to do the same ! I don't have an asus router, so I can't compare ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you use FreshJR's Adaptive QOS modification script on Merlin firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an asus router, so I can't compare ! as far as saw about duma os QOS online it has anti bufferbloat and bandwidth allocation which redistribute bandwidth . but my question is if i allocate all devices a certain amount of bandwidth. will the always downloading device get all the bandwidth when rest of the device being idle or barely using any data or it will cap on its limit and rest of the bandwidth stay unused?

This is exactly what the QOS of Duma OS does, By keeping a margin for online games via the bufferbloat!. Newfie and Zippy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfie Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 So you are downloading films and the Asus is running fine as it is yes? Sounds to me it’s working fine as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me it’s working fine as it is. ye its working fine. but the 2.5 ghz network is very unstable.which is very common on asus router. and i have a lot of 2.5ghz wifi only device in my home. this gets very annoying when the router decide to act up and my downloading gets the blame. thats why i was thinking of switching to netgear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted April 21, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 21, 2020 You've received some great advice so far, just to reiterate that the very scenario you have described is what DumaOS QoS can do. Allow all devices to use the internet at once without causing each other to lag/buffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
