QoS *MAJOR* bug in 7800DXL
Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2014 12:50 am
I discovered a QoS bug... and it is a MAJOR bug in this router (7800DXL).
I spent about 2 hours trying everything, discovering that QoS limitation worked only on download (WAN to LAN) but not upload (LAN to WAN). Couldn't test prioritization since it is much difficult.
I am usually connected through PPPoA, since I find it slightly faster (at least here in Italy).
I tried to switch to PPPoE and ... Boom... QoS was working correctly.
I'll switch to PPPoE, even if I find it hard to believe such a major bug was not noticed before...
The main problem is for those user whose provider use only a PPPoA interface... in this case QoS is useless at the moment.
I expect Billion is going to produce a new firmware in no time to correct this.
