The stock firmware for at least the nanostation m5 added "Airtime fairness" as a checkbox item a year or so back which was not the full fq_codel thing (but openwrt on the m5 is the full fq_codel for wifi thing and works GREAT). I don't know to what extent that has made it into their other products like the uap-lite. The fq_codel for wifi code in openwrt worked on the ath9k portion of the uap-lite, but there were some issues regarding the firmware for the ath10k. At one point it was enabled, another disabled, another re-enabled. It worked better on the ath10k-ct firmware in all cases, which was a removal of the ath10k stock firmware in favor of that (ct is candalatech's firmware which among other things supports ad-hoc mode for the ath10k) > > How does one get it to work if the one has a router that doesn't have an = ath9k/ath10k chip, but has access point with the ath9k ath10k chips hooked = up to it? Well, cake works where it is. If your wifi is running slower than your uplink the bottleneck shifts to there. My usual answer is to setup a test (a flent server on the wired link, a test over wifi) and see what happens. > If I read your paper correctly, the access points have to run on the vers= ion 4.6 kernel or newer. If that's true then I assume I must flash openWRT = on the unifi APs. After that, does FQ-MAC just work automatically or are th= eir settings I must do?
