Buffer-bloat QoS causing issues
Hello, I am finding that my XR500 Stops passing traffic randomly within every 12hr period. The work around for it is to either reboot the router or to Disable Buffer-Bloat QoS Feature all together. ...
This sounds like the DHCP issue NG are looking into, just to confirm, disabling QoS resolves the issue completely? How long have you run without disconnections with that disabled?
Before I update to v2.3.2.66 two weeks ago and re enabled QoS/Buffer-bloat feature, Ran smooth for almost 6 Months.
I did some TSHOOTing this afternoon (Was tired of just rebooting the router); Disabled the QoS/Buffer-bloat feature and the Router started to pass traffic again with no issues. Confirmed my suspisons and looked at the log and found a Entry in the Router log that it applyed a QoS rule at the some timestamp my connection craped out.
I just updated my router to v2.3.2.108 and did a Full factory reset. Im going to see if this resolves the issue.
- Okay keep us posted, I can't see it being QoS causing it, especially on pre-beta firmware but fingers crossed its sorted on beta.
Since Upgrading to the Pre release version of the DunOS (As stated above) I have not had any issues.
- That's great to hear, thanks for the update. Happy holidays!
