Short version:
What dual-band router has QoS to deal with "buffer bloat" problem?
I think queuing algorithm is called "fq_codel" or something.
Long version:
My current router is Asus RT-N66U. I didn't have problem with stock
firmware. But, after upgrading to the latest firmware this weekend, I'm
experiencing "bufferbloat" problem. When I download a large file (eg.
ISO file), I can't browse or send emails or anything, until the download
is finished or terminated.
Right now, I'm using my previous router TP-LINK TL-WDR4300 with DD-WRT.
But, its 5GHz band is flaky, and it needs frequent reboot. The very
reason why I replaced it in the first place.
So, it's time for a new router. I'm looking at Asus or Linksys. Any
recommendation based on what you have or what you've heard?
