What is that supposed to do? What is "set"? Which package does "set"
come from?
It seems very weird to have a command that is a shell built-in...

No, this is the *proper* way, but there are mistakes in your example. It
adds the tc filter to eth1 instead of eth0. You probably also don't want
the flowid.

necessary anyway.
As I said before, imq has been obsolete for a couple of years. Iirc it
hasn't been shipped with the kernel for years.
imq was used for QoS back in the day. It extended iptables to do the
redirection.
ifb is the "modern" replacement and works at a lower level, hence the
need for the tc-mirred
It looks to me like the linux distribution on your router is doing some
nonstandard things and possibly runs custom QoS scripts that could
conflict with your setup. If that is the case you should ask the
manufacturer for support.
