Smart Queuing Impacts Speeds. Will this ever be addressed?

September 09, 2023 15:22

I recently purchased a Firewall Gold to compliment my network and I have noticed smart queuing impact on slowing down upload speeds by 50%. While I have read about complaints prior to purchase mostly impacting Purple devices, I'm curious can and if this issue with smart queuing will be addressed? For now, I leave it off and everything is just fine. Please advise as this appears to have been an issue for a while now with various customers.

Are you running fq_codel? or CAKE? are you in adaptive mode? Is your WAN protocol DHCP/PPPoE/VLAN? and how you test the speed of smart queue.

FQ_CODEL. Adaptive. DHCP. Testing speed of Network via Fast.com and Speedtest.net across WIFI and a wired connection. My upload speed dropped to 500 mb vs 1gb on wired connection.

What you mean "My upload speed dropped to 500 mb vs 1gb on wired connection." If your ethernet is getting gigabit and your wifi is 500mb, then your problem is NOT related to firewalla, but your wifi

If it is wired, if you turn off smart queue, do you get gigabit? if you use LAN test, http://fire.walla:8833/ss/ via ethernet, what do you get?

Basically a gig download and 750-870 Mbps upload. So like I originally stated, the issue appears to be with smart queue. Turning it on cuts upload speeds dramatically. There are entire threads on Reddit and a few threads posted in this community so it's not something new. Please advise.
