Sqm - gl-sft1200 - limiting bandwidth?

Technical Support for Routers

Hello,
I’m trying to make SQM working with this router. But it seems not to limit any speed although it has been setup.

I’m using the router with the PC connected to LAN Ethernet port and Wi-Fi disabled.

Please, do I have any special operation to make SQM work on it ? I see no error in the logs. Thanks for any help

I disabled HW acceleration and it seems to limit the ingress. But nothing for the out

uci set firewall.@defaults[0].flow_offloading=‘0’
uci set firewall.@defaults[0].flow_offloading_hw=‘0’
uci commit firewall
/etc/init.d/firewall restart

It seems to be solved now. I upgraded to the beta firmware 4.1.1 available from the repos. It has an option to disable all hardware acceleration. It’s not satifying as i didn’t found the reason but it’s ok like this.

Upgraded 4.2.0 snapshot on MT1300 but didn’t see the parental control and zerotier option. Is it not supported on MT1300 model. any idea?

I saw this project some weeks ago : GitHub - gl-inet/parental-control but I never tested it on this router. But it’s well documented.
