@Vincent-TP Thank you for the reply.  I have enclosed pictures of my configuration, but will explain it here as well.  2 Networks configured as follows:

Transmission/Quality of Service/Class Rule (see picture Class Rule Any. jpg)

Rule   Qos Class     Status     Local Address    Remote Address    DSCP        Service Type

My laptop is connected to Port 3 which is the VoIP network.  It properly gets an  IP address 192.168.10.100 from DHCP on the router (see picture IP Config.jpg).  Notice that the Class Rule has DSCP set to "any".

 

 

Run a speed test and can see that my bandwidth is 18.10Mbps Down and 2.21Mbps Up and I can see from the WAN Online Statistics page (on the router) that the traffic is going out on Class 1 (see picture Success.jpg). 

 

 

This works as expected, but I want my phone traffic to have the highest priority (EF).  So all I did is go into the Class Rule (Transmission/Quality of Service/Class Rule) and change the DSCP setting from "any" to "EF" (see picture Class Rule EF.jpg). 

 

 

I then rerun my speed test.  Now get 330.62Mbps Down and 38.04Mbps Up, and can see from the WAN Online Statistics page (on the router) that the traffic is going out on Others (see picture Failure.jpg). 

 

 

Setting DSCP to any setting other than "any" causes the traffic to go on the VoIP network to go out over Others class and not Class 1.  This is a real problem for me and I am not sure what I did wrong in my configuration or how to correct this.

 

I surely need some help and guidance here.  Thanks!!

 

For the purpose of the test above, I had a single computer connected to Port 5 on the ER605 and my laptop connected to Port 3 on the ER605 and the WAN connected to Port 1 on the ER605. That's it. As simple as I could make this test to demonstrate my problem where I cannot set DSCP to anything other than "any" without it ignoring the class rule and sending traffic out Others and not Class 1!

  @TestingJohn 

 

I upgraded to the latest firmware 2.3.3 which had no effect on this issue. Other than "Any" became "BE" in the DSCP dropdown, the problem still exists.

 

Any help or insight on this problem would be greatly appreciated!

 

thanks,

 

 

John

  @TestingJohn 

 

I am still at a loss to get this to work.  Anyone have any ideas on this one? 

 

Help me please.

 

Thanks,

  @TestingJohn Iv'e been banging my head the same as you; here is what I have infered: the DSCP value is not to classify (or tag) the traffic.It is to identify it IF it already brings that said tag along with it.

 

That's why it only works when you select "any".

 

Im dealing with a different scenario: my gateway (ER706W) does NOT have the "any" tag under for selecting. Which makes my problem quite a kerfufle since there is no way I can make the trafic be recognized due to the behaviour I explained above.

 

 

  If you are using any Omada Controller with version 6.1 or later, and have all your switches updated to the latest pre-releases or latest official (late december, january builds) you can achieve exactly what you want

 

Using switch QoS, assign each network to a queue and enable DSCP Remarking, and select the desired queue .   This will re-tag all traffic on that network with the selected DSCP tag value.

 

Do this for all networks

 

Then, you can select that particular DSCP value in gateway QoS for each class

 

Note, Gateway QoS only has a subset of the available DSCP markers (EF, CS and AF classes) so make sure you select only those in switch QoS

  @GRL 

 

I am not using the Omada Controller.  I am using the WebUI of the router itself.  Is there a way to set DSCP remarking within the routers built in Web UI pages?  My down stream switches (2) are dumb switches.  One switch is for computer traffic and the other is specific to VoIP phones, so I can't set the DSCP remarking at the switch level, only at the ER605 (maybe).

 

We are a small business, but our phones are giving us problems when the internet traffic is high.  I would have thought the ER605 would have allowed me to configure the traffic on a given network to be a higher priority than the other, but that appears to not be the case :(

  @TestingJohn 

 

No, that can only be done with Switch QoS - but the traffic still has to hit the gateway and that seems to be the problem for you.

 

about the best you can do is figure out /specify in phone GUI what DSCP is assigned to phone traffic, and use Gateway QoS and assign those DSCP values to class 1 and give it the bandwidth it needs
