I’ve noticed that somewhere in the recent firmware releases on the BT10 (and other routers, from my searching), when you enable Adaptive QoS it no longer has the option to set your bandwidth which it used to have. Which largely renders the thing useless.

Anyone know if this was deliberate, a bug, or if they’re ever planning on releasing a working QoS again?

From what I’ve seen, this appears to be a firmware/UI regression rather than an intentional feature removal, and it isn’t limited to the ZenWiFi BT10. Users with several recent Wi-Fi 7 ASUS routers (including RT-BE and TUF BE series) have reported that Adaptive QoS no longer lets you manually enter your WAN upload/download bandwidth.

On many of ASUS’s newer firmware releases, particularly for newer Wi-Fi 7 and AI routers, they are moving away from the traditional Adaptive QoS model and replacing it with Adaptive QoE (Quality of Experience).

I will drop ASUS a message and see what the plans are in this are ?

Ah interesting. thanks yeah would be good to understand what their position is with it, if they will either fix the current Adaptive QoS or actually update to QoE on existing routers, or if QoE is only a thing for newly released devices that come with it from day 1.

Shame they have broken it. Hopefully one day Merlin or Gnuton add support for the bt10 and I will use the cake/sqm options available there and not worry about Asus broken one.

I have had feedback from ASUS and the lack of availability of ‘Bandwidth Setting’ for the BT10 is not a bug.

ASUS also say that the new QoE should be available to the BT10, but at the moment there is no schedule.

 

Off the record, and this is only my personal opinion, it seems as though ASUS is transitioning from Adaptive QoS to Adaptive QoE. As is often the case with agile software development involving multiple software vendors, the transition appears to be happening in stages, with some compromises and caveats along the way.

Interesting. So it’s not a bug but that means they’ve deliberately broken a feature on their router for many months now with no fix in sight? I am amazed they would deliberately break something they are still advertising as a feature of their routers. Without the bandwidth setting, adaptive QoS doesn’t work at all.

 

thanks for seeking a response from them, shame they raise more questions than answers 😂

My Netgear XR500 running DumaOS had a similar journey. It started out brilliantly, and I really liked its unique QoS and Geo-Filter features. However, over time the focus shifted towards a new direction, and unfortunately the XR500 reached end of life before Netduma fully realised that vision.

I’m not suggesting ASUS will do the same, but it does remind me of how software platforms can evolve, sometimes leaving existing features in a transitional state for quite a while.

That’s why I’m ASUSWRT-Merlin and supported forks all the way.
