Nice, you help people and really do what people asked in the comments. Just because of that I will subscribe to your channel. Your channel needs more subscribers, keep creating new content.
great work man, now I'm going to do this same configuration on my network for my gaming PC, without forgetting the raspberry 15.3w power supply another video of the pi r4s, thanks
For wan symmetric speeds @ 1Gbit or higher, cake with diffserv4, proper overhead, and not specifying a rate limit, would do just fine. Fq_codel at line rate works great as well. Packetsteering and manual irq assignments give big gains.
You probably have to reboot the router after changing any of those settings. Hardware offloading only works on MT7610 chipsets like I am sending this through. I have been having youtube hangs so I turned off packet steering and it looks promising but I need more tests.
After enabling the 'Packet Steering' option, it seems that a reboot is required to take effect. You can check it with 'cat /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus' command, non '0' means it has taken effect.
Hi ,can you please also check SQM (cake and piece of cake) performance on nanopi R2S at 1 Gbps , also if possible guide me to use usb port as LAN port on R2S.
Hi, currently I don't have a R2S and I am not sure if I can find a used in my country. Purchase the router directly from the store is expensive (after import and tax). I will try if I got one.
Nano Pi R2S has one of its Ethernet ports on USB Bus. I would be interested to see a performance comparison video between a USB bus Ethernet port and a native Ethernet port. Mr. VanTechCorner you may be able to do this test with the hardware you have on hand. Especially interesting because the Pi 4 build uses one of those adapters. Edit: Both latency and throughput tests of course. Thank you for your channel!
Hi Van. Just curious, is OpenWRT can route specific domain to specific isp like mikrotik? i'm using 2 isp from different provider. Let say i want to route youtube and metaverse domains and port to isp 1 only.
Hi, you can do this with Policy Routing. You can check out this video to have a general picture. ruclips.net/video/YEHDf8-nZyA/видео.html. To route a specific domain, you may need their real IP address or even AS number if they are a big provider.
Hi, I don't think this device will be available soon since they just lauch it. After purchased the NanoPi R4S and R2S myself to make the videos, I contacted them to ask for the NanoPi R5S. Unfortunately, I have yet to receive any response so far. From my knowledge, you better build a tiny/mini x86 OpenWRT router for better OpenVPN throughput.
If you check the passmark score of the CPUs of both units, I think the R4S has a better score actually, so I would believe the R4S would be a little bit faster.
Hi Van, could you please give tutorial loadbalancing/mwan on R4S using both USB to LAN, im having trouble to connect the usb to lan even im already install the driver
Hi, may I know what kind of USB LAN you are using? I never have any problem with the adapter before, what do you see in dmesg/system log when the problem happen?
@@VanTechCorner hi Van, thanks for replying, i finally figure out why the usb lan is not detected, i build my own img by myself and install the driver kmod-usb-net-asix___, and it work well
Hi, didn’t run the R4S long enough to give you the answer. At the time of typing this comment, my R4S is up for more than 1 day with no problem. I will monitor it for few days and make a video on that.
Hi, basically you just need to install the driver (by install a package) and it should work. Here I have a video for the RPI 4, the process is complicated because at the time of making the video, OpenWRT firmware is snapshot and a lot of things had to be done in order to access LuCI. For most of the USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter, you can just install the package I mentioned in the video and it should work.
Yes, I haven't try but it should work. There are some posts on the openwrt.org forum, and you can check out this forum.openwrt.org/t/please-recommend-usb-wifi/55485/4
Hey! Thank you so much for your videos. Actually I own a Xiaomi AX1800, having 1Gbps symmetrical, connected to PPPoE and no CG-NAT. With the QoS disabled, somehow it breaks NAT Loopack/Hairpin (using DuckDNS for my own services like HomeAssistant under Nginx Proxy). If I enable QoS I can access my devices using my duckdns domain, but router gets slower and slower, it almost breaks the other devices experience. Also, checking logs it drops a lot of packages. Do you think OpenWRT, SQM or QoS will cause this kind of issues? Thinking about replacing my AX1800 with a NanoPi R4S for convenience (2 gigabit ports) or something cheaper but with a more decent software like OpenWRT. (Xiaomi makes everything closed and user friendly that hides most of the important settings)
Hi there, sorry for the late response. The Xiaomi AX1800 is not a powerful router. If you enable software offloading, maybe you can get close to 1Gbps. As As I tested, software offloading works with SQM QoS package, maybe you can give a try. Also, are mentioning about SQM / QoS as 2 different packages, is that correct? If yes, may I know the exact package name you installed on the router?
@@VanTechCorner Actually I'm talking about the stock firmware. AX1800 doesn't support OpenWRT yet. So I'm not sure how QoS/SQM is treated/installed by default. Also, config is so simple that hides most of advanced settings. Including Software offloading, which I suppose it does by default. Not pretty sure. Just the major issue here is broken NAT Loopback when not enabling QoS.
why is software and hardware offloading not present on my general settings page under network then firewall. It is installed in software. I'm using friendlywrt.
Hi, I am not sure. You can try enable them with CLI or switch to OpenWRT. (See openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/firewall/firewall_configuration and modify the /etc/config/firewall file)
@@VanTechCorner So, I just installed the OpenWrt that you explained in one of your videos. I did have to install Luci through PuTTy, but hey, at least its working now. Thanks so much for your videos VTC, they really helped out a lot!
Thanks for this quite complete test. I think there’s a small flaw in your upload&download test: iperf3 by default tests in both directions, so here you just had 4 streams in parallel. There are options for iperf3 to make it test only one direction. I think that here you just saturated your Ethernet link…
Testing set-up is wrong for CAKE testing. There was no congestion to begin with and several TCP streams created by synthetic testing was too easy to manage. CAKE should sit right between you and ISP while you download popular torrent like Ubuntu DVD with 200-300 connections. You should also configure Link Layer Adaptation as wiki suggest - Ethernet with 44 byte overhead.
Please show us the Print Server Setup and use it from mobile without pc. We can do it with tplink firmwares eg. wdr 3600. Now i use openwrt. So show us a way.

Try SQM FQ CODEL, CAKE and enable irq balance and packet steering.

Have you tried irqbalance? Supposedly it is to spread the load on the CPU cores.
Thanks, I will give a try with irqbalance.
@@VanTechCorner yes enabled irq balance with 1, not 0 more performance
# Enable irqbalance and packet steering
uci set irqbalance.irqbalance.enabled='1'
uci set network.globals.packet_steering='1'
uci commit irqbalance
uci commit network
enjoy ! :)
Could you please do a speed and ping test with SQM, irqbalance and packet steering on? Your videos are very helpful by the way.
Loving this video, have you ever run Openwrt on Banana pi BPI T2 pro?
Hi, do you mean the BPI-R2 PRO? The Banana-Pi team said they will send me one unit for testing when the stock is ready.
so what the best config ? for speed :)
i'm thinking of buying the newer R5S to run as a wired router using OpenVPN this should perform similar to the R4S I'd imagine?

Hello Sr I got xr1000 if get this will it work would and my isp modem
Hi, sorry for the late response. This router is powerful and I believe it should work well. However, OpenWRT is not available at the momment.

iperf3 by default only test in one direction. If he had saturated the link that would have been a good test!
Can you make a tut on how to setup muti wans on this kind of router that has 2 ports only..
