GL-MT6000 - OpenWRT 24.10.1

After years using the GL-iNet firmware on GL-MT6000, I decided to give a chance to OpenWRT firmware.

The whole process is very simple.
Just follow the instructions from HERE.

AdGuard Home can be installed following these instructions

Wireguard server can be set following these instructions.

Wireguard client can be set following these instructions
.
USB External drivers can be installed following these instructions

My internet is 500Mbps (Download) and 70Mbps (Upload):

thanks!

If you install luci-app-sqm and reduce your speed about 5% I would be willing to bet you get a A+ score
Log out and log back in and you should see SQM QoS under Network

If your not sure what interface to use ssh into it and run this ifstatus wan | grep -e l3_device

I would also be interested in finding out what Htop says about your processor usage when doing a speed test, On mine even with packet steering enabled it seems to favor #3 of the processor at about 50% and the rest around 5 to 13% . At idle the most processors usage is 1% or nothing per core

EDIT: I did not have packet steering enabled for all cores, Now with it enabled all cores are less than 20 and the last core is at about 30% when doing a bufferbloat test

I tried this on one of my MT3000 units but couldn't obtain an IP address from my DHCP server on the WAN side, so I reverted to the original GL.iNet firmware.

Hey @Renato can I ask what country you are in and what ISP you use?

The upload speed is only +7ms under load... I believe doesn't worth to change anything just to have a 7ms improvement.

The hardware acceleration is on and the screenshot was done when the speediest was running:

This version also includes:

which fixes the problem with 5GHz WiFi timeouts, freezing and connecting problems. I hope it's also included into to the lastest 4.7.5-op24 firmware.

Sadly not. The OP build is 24.10 RC5 :frowning:

I can only assume they wanted to push out this build to test the fixes they implemented on the OP24 framework.

I do hope the 4.8 OP24 build is a 24.10.1 or 24.10.2

The pace of releases has really slowed down since the Flint 2 was released.

I get these results with the MT6000 - OpenWRT 24.10.1 - 1000/1000 fiber connection.

I get the same result @ waveform.com. I was using all kinds of advanced settings but in the end the results were less good as I have now. Packet steering is enabled, SQM is enabled.

900000 / 900000
fq_codel / simplest.qos
Ethernet with overhead / PPO 44

With Cake / Piece of Cake I hit the limits of the hardware sooner, around 700000 / 850000, and with a bit more latency ~2ms. Still good ofcourse, but fq_codel is providing me a better experience.

I`m not using WiFI though, I disabled it as I have a Unifi setup for that purpouse, but prefer to have everything wired as much as possible.
