QoS *MAJOR* bug in 7800DXL

I discovered a QoS bug... and it is a MAJOR bug in this router (7800DXL).
I spent about 2 hours trying everything, discovering that QoS limitation worked only on download (WAN to LAN) but not upload (LAN to WAN). Couldn't test prioritization since it is much difficult.

I am usually connected through PPPoA, since I find it slightly faster (at least here in Italy).
I tried to switch to PPPoE and ... Boom... QoS was working correctly.

I'll switch to PPPoE, even if I find it hard to believe such a major bug was not noticed before...
The main problem is for those user whose provider use only a PPPoA interface... in this case QoS is useless at the moment.

I expect Billion is going to produce a new firmware in no time to correct this.

I will discuss this issue further with our engineers

Arghhh! I wish I had found out about this earlier. I just wasted a morning trying to figure out why QoS was not working as we want to limit our upstream service to our servers.

Thanks, and looking forward to a fix...

Thanks for the quick turnaround. Updated this morning and can confirm it is fixed.

"trickle" and "unison" do not work well together.
