6.34 broke my queues

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello all,

Apologies for not having a config to dump straight away. I have an RB2011UiAS-2HnD which is LAN bridge for my home network on a 10.10.10.0/24 range and I also have it running 2 additional guest wireless interfaces on 192.168.1.0/24 space.

It all works fine as far as NAT and firewalls go but before the 6.34 update I had 2 simple queues on the 2 wlan interfaces (wlan2 and wlan3) limiting the speeds. Now they seem to not work at all.

Any ideas as 1 is providing service to an old guy next doors but I don’t want him having FULL speed from my conenction.

Thanks
Steve

Check fasttrack is off. If not, switch off the fasttracking rules.

Fastpath wasn’t off but it is now. Still same result (no limiting) Fasttrack has no rules set up at all.
I tweeted mikrotik and got a response to try 6.34.1 but that has not improved it either. How do I downgrade to 6.33?

Here is the dump from my queues;

/queue simple
add max-limit=512k/5M name=my-guest target=wlan2
add max-limit=256k/1M name=my-other-guest target=wlan3

Interestingly though my RB3011 which I put onto 6.34 is using the below

/queue simple
add max-limit=21M/1152k name=Internet target=pppoe-out1

This queue is working absolutely fine with no problems.

Had another go at this,

If I specify the software bridge tying the 2 WLAN’s together then the limiting works fine but I want them to have differing speeds, when I specify the actual interface wlan2 or wlan3 it doesn’t limit.

Any help please?

Can you recreate queues?Delete or disable the old ones and then try. There should be no problem with the queue feature.

Yep done that and I’ve just done it again with no success. Oddly it looks as if trying to apply queues directly to the wlan interfaces won’t work but if I stick them into a software bridge then it works fine. Will test later today if putting each into its own software bridge will work. It would be a workaround but a little messy when I used to be able to apply the queue to the interface directly.

I’m half happy to say my “dirty” fix has worked on this. Creating individual software bridges for each wlan has worked and I can now throttle them at different speeds. I would have liked to keep it to 1 software bridge for guests in general and throttle the wlan interfaces separately but for now 2 software bridges as one for each is working and doing what I need it to.

Back to normality again!
