The Almighty Power of the QoS!!
« on: June 03, 2015, 05:33:02 PM »
So I thought I might discuss The Almighty QoS © and how it seems to have helped my connection.
The process is pretty simple. Your basically raising the priority of your gaming machine with your router.

Step 1.
Assign your computer a static ip address. Like this!!

Step 2.
Google your modem router model and QoS. For me that was here!!

LAN to WAN, WAN to LAN baby!! Priority High!!! Good stuff  :D

Can't hurt   :)

I think it'd be even more beneficial if you could prioritise the AC-related traffic (i.e. traffic to certain ports) but I'm not sure if/how you can do that.
After all, your traffic can be messed up by a windows update, or other crap running on your own computer as well.

Of course, to curb wild household members' ability to mess with your gaming/browsing, it is perfect to prioritise your computer :)

That Billion article is a great article for the uninitiated :)

Nice one!

I tried this once before, but something went a bit awry, but I can't remember what. I might have to look into it again, especially as I have a Billion router myself.

Edit: And the winner is.... I've already set it. No wonder my ping rarely changes. *sheepish*

Now I have Netflix it might make sense to start limiting bandwidth to that...

Though I have my EoP adapter next to me connecting to my entertainment downstairs in the lounge... turn that off for the duration would work too!

Though the fiancé might object :P
