You maybe right. I will wait a couple of weeks until my probe is tagged stable. It is fairly stable now, I fixed the boot problem and installed new OpenWRT router which works great for me. If somebodycan manually tag and shift traffic, it will handle without problem. Nevertheless, I will wait and report back.
Thanks for suggestions! I hope this probe will be better utilized. As I said, it can easily handle 20Mbit/s (even more).
