MikroTik Routers (fq_codel)

Credits to Noli, one of our readers who found complete instructions on how to do this.

The only requirement is to have a Mikrotik router on RouterOSv7. I don’t own any more Mikrotiks

This video below will fully describe how to set up fq-codel.

Noli’s notes from the video are as follows

Open Winbox
=========

Click on Queues
===========

Click on Queue Types
————————
Click +
For ‘name’ type in “fq_codel” (or whatever)
Set kind = fq codel
Leave everything else default

Click on Simple Queues
————————–
Click +
General -> For ‘name’ type in “fq_codel” (or whatever)
General -> Set Target = ether1 OR can use 192.168.88.0/24 (or whatever your home network IP is)
General -> Set Target Upload Max = about 90% of max upload on fast.com e.g. if max is 10Mbit, type in “9M”
General -> Set Target Download Max = about 90% of max upload on fast.com e.g. if max is 50Mbit, type in “45M”
Advanced -> Set Queue Type (Target Upload) = fq_codel

Done!
