Folks,

I mentioned that this fellow could try OpenWrt to turn on SQM/fq_codel, and it worked as well as we all hoped/expected...

Nice Job to all who contributed to this. (In case no one has said anything nice to you today :-)

Status update.

Yesterday I received my TP-Link  Archer C7 AC1750 Router.  I started working with it this morning.  A quick install and setup with an update to their latest firmware.  I then ran the first network test from dsl reports:

After that test I installed OpenWRT Buffer Breaker release firmware into the router.  Some basic setup and learning and a second test:

After that test I enabled  SQM-Scripts  and setup the scripts to about 95% of my bandwidth in both directions.  Running the dslreports test:

Now showing virtually no bloat!!

I loaded the outbound channel using Apple Photos uploading images to iCloud which totally saturates the outbound channel!  So I started my first VOIP testing using my home line that is on a OBI 202 to VOIP.MS.  During the first set of tests I found what I would call "perfect" received audio and the person I called said that my audio is great but there may have been a couple of words that had "edges" to them.  This load situation would have normally destroyed any out bound audio.  

I will be conducting tests with Ring Central and my polycom phone!
