I&#= 39;m running OpenWrt on the Unifi AC Mesh access point; (it has an ath10k c= hip). It sits on a pole above my ridgeline and provides service to my
=
house and yard.

I dunno what the state in the= Ubiquity provided firmware is.

OpenWrt has the nice new wifi code in it, which indeed really fixes = bufferbloat.
As I also ha= ve an ath9k in my laptop and run Linux, I now even do (previously insane) t= hings like have my scheduled backups go over WiFi while
teleconferencing, and I'm a ha= ppy camper.
Getting OpenW= rt installed on it the first time is a bit of a chore; I have some notes ar= ound someplace on what I learned when I did the install.

But on= the questions related to bufferbloat and making wifi both low latency and = fast, I really don't know much about these products. (I have a Unifi 10= Gb/sec switch as my home/lab fiber backbone, but that's not really rel= evant to answering this question).

So, si= nce you, Dave, and others have been talking about real-world fq_codel etc. = and faster wifi scheduling, does anyone know what the status at Ubiquiti is= ?

=C2=A0=

I know= some here run OpenWRT/LEDE on Unifi APs, but that's not my question, r= eally.

=C2=A0=

Any kn= owledge out there?

=C2=A0=

(I'= ;d like to recommend that they run some actual load tests - flent RRUL, etc= . - but I think they might need some help).

Person= ally I have no stake whatever in their use, but I'd love to get someone= to start solving the bloat and queueing/scheduling problems.
