It's great when I stumble upon more of your advice in the comments section anywhere people might listen. But I do hope some determined devs can tap into the unrealized power of this new Mediatek processor in the Belkin RT3200 to automatically adjust to Starlink and LTE connections' changing speeds more readily. As you suggested on /r/Starlink, the ideal solution would involve the Starlink team coordinating info about available bandwidth from the SOC in Dishy with a local CAKE solution on their provided OpenWrt Qualcomm IPQ4018 router. If a novice like me is allowed to offer any criticism at all of the current CAKE implementation in OpenWrt, it merely to agree with you in regards to the challenge of applying CAKE to such a variable bandwidth connection as Starlink. I couldn't possibly hold out for OpenWrt support on that device.

I even tried the Netgear RAX120 with v2 of its Qualcomm 64 bit 14nm chip, and it's still a rebooting, unstable nightmare. Not only is CAKE missing across the board, it seems like none of the stability that 802.11ac wave 2 eventually achieved has carried over into current firmwares for these new devices. Like you, I'm quite disappointed at the state of Wifi 6 in the market. At worst the 5GHz Wifi antennas seem to underperform compared to everything else that is so great with this router, including 160 Hz AX support and DFS in OpenWrt LuCI. The Belkin version is on the shelves at just about every Wal-mart store, and Wal-mart seems to drop the price to around $80 during Belkin sales. This currently seems like the fastest CAKE solution available short of x86. This router contains a new 64 bit Mediatek chipset and an unlocked bootloader that has allowed fast OpenWrt development and incredible SQM performance. More recently, I discovered the Belkin RT3200/Linksys E8450, and I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised when you get your hands on one of thees. It's unfortunate they still haven't added SQM for the new eero 6 models even in their recent 6.5 release.

Then I tried Eero's implementation on the older AC pro models. I tried CAKE with Fresh Tomato on the old Asus RT-AC68u.

I'm so appreciative that people like you and Jim Gettys are sharing your knowledge across the internet, and I've subscribed to your Starlink list to learn more from you and other contributors. I've only been following your work for the last several months, but I am thoroughly impressed with CAKE and fq_codel.
