SQM is a necessity for this router while gaming. My GF streams Netflix and I get headshotted in CSGO without seeing the enemy because of all the latency spikes.
@Steve68, please let me know if you find a way to get it working.
@ywp please invest in a SQM solution. Is this anything on the roadmap right now?
Aside, the page: Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) | High-Performance VPN Router - GL.iNet says: ultra-low latency gaming environments. But you should add, ultra-low latency with bufffbloat gaming, to make it fair. I read this marketing sentence while buying expecting SQM or QOS.
Yeah definitely, I am surprised it isn’t a priority for them, it is really important, and yes we always have the ability in LuCI but casual people don’t know about it and just want something easy that just works. It shouldn’t be too hard to implement SQM on their GUI.
For the time being it works because it shapes the download speed, the issue is the upload speed, so at least it would help if you install it through LuCI, the method explained above should work too.
I would like to add that this bug is also persistent with my Brume 2. Logging in to Luci and applying the settings again does fix it. I will try the suggesting temp fix as a workaround for now.
EDIT:
I added
/etc/init.d/sqm restart
to the local startup however it doesn't seem to do anything to solve the issue for me.
If I run the command manually after a reboot it works though.
They need to fix if ASAP or give their QoS option more priority so it comes out earlier, because it doesn’t seem it’s going to be this year. Anyways the snapshot vanilla probably fixes it on the Brume 2 just like on the Flint 2
Now open a new tab in your browser and run the speedtest.
Then, alternate the tab and check the CPU Load on the admin panel, mainly when the upload is under test.
If there is a high load, they should investigate what is causing it.
1. MT6000 restores factory Settings
2. opkg update
3. opkg install luci-app-sqm
4. Go to the luci sqm interface, select eth0 and enable sqm
5. Google speedtest test
6. reboot, Google speedtest test
Hi
I've tried your test procedure and it works for the 500 value. However when I change this to anything else say for example 6000 it just defaults to the full speed. I change it back to 500 and I get the same low speed. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. On 4.5.8 firmware.
I've been testing and the bug is so weird that I don't even have a conclusion yet, I set both values to 800, this is the result, the upload speed is not being shaped even without a reboot. I'm testing on the MT3000 but applies for the Flint 2 based on my experience, I think it's even worse on the MT3000.
The eth interface is supposed to be always wan-wan6, in this case wan is eth0 on the MT3000. Version 4.6.2 release1
We are just testing if it shapes the speed, I know that's not even 0.5Mbps
Any value over 200 should work to test and have an idea, unless you enter 50kbps, things would be harder
My question is more like "Is it relevant that values <1000 don't work all the time"?
Would be an issue to report to the SQM maintainer anyway, I guess.
I don't understand what you guys being doing wrong but my SQM it's been working flawless for weeks, my bandwidth/line it's 300mbps/20mbps and this it's my last speedtest:
