This is actually my own situation at home. My solution is to insert Cake shapers on both upstream *and* downstream directions, and adjust their bandwidth settings according to variations in available 4G speed. To do this I use an IQrouter, which is basically a TP-Link Archer C7 with custom firmware. One of the difficulties with 4G in particular is that the link capacity varies a great deal according to both radio propagation conditions (weather, obstructions) and local usage by other subscribers. That means the right bandwidth setting for the small hours of the night, when nobody is awake, will leave you with a lot of bloat in the evening, when everyone is both awake and home from school/work. You will need to measure these trends and set up a bandwidth schedule accordingly. - Jonathan Morton _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
