      I have an aliasgroup of clients on LAN that should go into qOthersLow queue.

      Can this be done with a single floating rules?
      Or two floating rules?
      Or a single floating rule plus a LAN interface rule?
      Or…

      This is my setup but it only works for traffic download (seen from clinet). Client upload is not in qOthersLow queue:

      • Create new floating rule
      • Action: Queue
      • QUICK to apply it at once
      • no interface (then it should count for all interfaces?...)
      • Direction is any (again to bind traffic in both directions)
      • source: alias "lowPrio" with low priority clients on LAN
      • destination: any
      • acc/queue: qACK / qOthersLow

      It works for traffic in. That goes into the qOthersLow on WAN
      But traffic out does not go into qOthersLow

      What should I change to make sure both traffic in and out from/to clients on LAN go into qOthersLow?

        You can't have a floating rule that checks out on WAN with a private IP source - NAT has already happened, there's no way to match it by IP.

          Sorry. First see your answer now.

          Thanks a lot. I will experience with a LAN/WAN rule and see if I can get same result.
