Then we are off to a good start ;)

	Ah, this requires luci-app-sqm, you might be able to install this from the router’s GUI or it might be installed already; there should be a SQM tab in the network menu and there you should be able to configure things. http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/sqm has some advice about how to set things up. Please have a look and let me know what specific questions arise ;)

Best Regards
	Sebastian

(You might need a more recent luck-app-sqm, but first try what happens if you try the new scripts). After using the GUI to properly configure your interface you can always run either:
