Issue setting up SQM on Flint 2

LivH · 2025-04-11T18:29:34.549Z

Hello,
I am having issues setting up SQM on my Flint 2. Whenever i login i get this error you can see in the screenshot and another one of them pops up when i go on the SQM QoS page. The page also just loads forever, nothing ever shows up apart from this 'loading views' text. This is my first time getting a router not provided by my ISP and i really dont know much about networking or routers. Im just trying to improve my bufferbloat and latency for gaming.
Could anyone please help me figure out what my issue is as i really dont even know where to start?

Check if SQM is installed correctly

Log into your router via SSH (using a terminal or command prompt) to see if the SQM package is installed and properly configured. You can do this by running:

opkg list-installed | grep sqm

If SQM is not installed, you can install it using:

opkg update
opkg install luci-app-sqm

Restart the Router

Sometimes, a simple restart can help to clear up any issues with the software or configuration. Try rebooting your router to see if that resolves the problem.
Clear Browser Cache

Since you’re accessing the configuration page through a web interface (Luci), try clearing your browser's cache or use a different browser. Sometimes, the page might get stuck due to old cached data.
Check for Firmware Updates

Ensure that your router's firmware is up to date. If there’s a bug in the current version you're using, a firmware update might fix it.
Check Router Logs

Look at the router logs to identify if there are any errors related to the SQM or the LuCI interface. You can access logs via SSH by typing:

logread

This can give you more detailed insight into where the problem is occurring.
Verify Network Settings

Ensure that your WAN and LAN interfaces are correctly configured. If the SQM interface is trying to work with an incorrect or missing interface, it might fail to load.
Reinstall SQM or Luci

If nothing seems to be working, you can try reinstalling the SQM and LuCI packages:

opkg remove luci-app-sqm
opkg install luci-app-sqm

Thanks for your reply, i actually tried all these things before posting and nothing worked! I have had to downgrade my firmware version and now it works and im able to configure sqm.

Starting foom 4.7.0, you have to use a separate port to access LuCI.
