Hello,

I have the Dlink DIR 822
MediaTek MT7621A (880 MHz, 2 cores)
FLA1: 16 MiB
RAM1: 128 MiB

with DD-WRT v3.0-r37305 std (10/10/1 installed.

Whenever I enable QoS my speed drops around 75% I currently have 500Mbps upload, the speed drops to around 120-150Mbps.

I only try to add one VOIP device, I have tried with both options either adding the VOIP device MAC or Sip Port Service, whenever Qos is enabled it drops drastically.

Even thought I have added the PC MAC address I am surfing/testing from to have Priority Maximum/Privileged.

I have also set my down-link to 85% correctly (450,000Kbps)

CPU CPU Model Mediatek MT7621 ver:1 eco:3
CPU Cores 4
CPU Features MIPS32r1 MIPS32r2 MIPS16 DSP MT
CPU Clock 880 MHz
Load Average 2% 0.06, 0.05, 0.06

Seems just enabling QoS is causing a bottle neck.. thoughts??

Thanks.

Suggest to revert back to latest stock firmware 1.11 and see if your problem is still there to see if it is a ddwrt bug.

Thanks, just tried and reverted back to stock.
Results on stock:-
1)disabled/no QoS full speed: 600-800Mbps
2)enabled with Qos speed: 60-80Mbps

Wow I was really surprised and glad you suggested to revert back, would unfairly think/comment on being DDWrt.

Above seems consistent with DDWRT, does DDWRT use the Dlink manu firmware as its base firm?

I need VPN(Policy based Routing) and QoS(VOIP) from DDWRT

Any suggestions on what to do, just bought the router and out of return period.

If your connection is not congested, the best solution is to have QOS turn off.

[jonnyiboy]

Any Idea why it is a problem, router cpu, memory, firmware?

Di i just make a bad choice for a router to have ddwrt?

Is there anything I can do, am fairly proficient at programming and configuring.

Thanks

Try this guide for ddwrt and see if it helps

Thanks apvm for the guide I have come across and actually used it .

casualttester; on mentioning about CTS and consumer routers and also reading further about it, I did go back and try out my previous router (asus ac66u) with QoS and the results were the same, maximum 10-15 % of the original speed.

I did look up more on QoS router issues, seems to be common trend across all brands, actually Netgear suggests if speeds are more that 100Mbps, one should no longer need to enable QoS.

Seems to be a good suggestion to go and setup my own build router box and a pre-build router img as base, now that I am seeing more and more limitations of router hardware and requiring me to invest every 4-5 yrs or so in them.

Thanks all again for quick and appropriate replies.
