Simple queue not working when torch disabled

RouterOS General
1

I have a simple queue for limiting bandwidth to our wifi for personal devices (phones, tablets, etc), and it functions exactly as specified, but only when the relevant interface is monitored with torch.

[admin@ca-mikrotik] /queue simple> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 0    name="limit_unrestricted_speeds" target=192.168.0.0/24 parent=none packet-marks="" priority=8/8 queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=0/0 max-limit=3M/3M burst-limit=5M/5M burst-threshold=4M/4M burst-time=2s/2s

So I start a speedtest on a device on that wifi network, and see unrestricted speeds. As soon as I enable torch on the relevant interface, available bandwidth to my device drops to queue set speeds.

I imagine something I need to enable on the queue is being enabled when torch is running on it, but for the life of me I can’t figure out what. Oh, and if it matters: this is being monitored through Winbox.

Hello everyone.
I have exactly the same problem. Queue only working when torch is enabled. Any ideas how to solve it?

Maybe fasttrack is enabled…

Thanks for the clue. I was unable to restrict bandwidth for my hotspot users. Finally it’s sort out. I disable Fasttrack on Firewall. :slight_smile:

Glad I could give you a hint.

Thank you for a tip! I have disabled fasttrack and it helped!
