Hi, I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to networking; I would like any help filling out the boxes in the screen shot that I found on the web which is the same as my router.

What I want to achieve is making my PC a priority above every other PC in the house and I have already gave all the devices static IP.

Thanks.

You pretty much put the ip of your PC into the queue that represents the high group and then set the high group to run priority queuing.

Unfortunately it will likely do nothing for you.

Your router can only act on data it already has. If it were to have data from 2 machine and have to choose which to throw away and which to send to the internet it will work fine. In effect you could be sure it never throws away any data from the preferred machine.

The key problem is it is almost never data that is being sent (ie uploaded) to the internet where the capacity issue occurs. It is almost always incoming data (ie download) that has the capacity issue. If the path from the ISP to your house is full it is the ISP that will choose...

The key problem is it is almost never data that is being sent (ie uploaded) to the internet where the capacity issue occurs. It is almost always incoming data (ie download) that has the capacity issue. If the path from the ISP to your house is full it is the ISP that will choose which data to discard. By the time your router sees it the data is already gone. In a consumer setting where the ISP does not give you some method to tell them which to prefer you can do nothing.

There are some advanced routes try to get around this by discarding even more data on connection to machine you do not want to use it. This in theory causes enough errors that the applications reduce their sending rate. For example a video stream that tries high def and if it gets too many errors drops back to standard def. It only works for certain type of data some like bit torrent it will actually make the problem worse since it will try to resend the lost data.

From what I can tell your router does not have the fancy QoS settings...dd-wrt images do as well as the high end Asus and TP-link. Still it is a huge hack. There is no way to run QoS on the internet. QoS is only effective when you have complete control of the network like in a corporate network where you buy private links between the sites.

Not sure why QoS even exists in consumer routers it is almost totally worthless for what your average person wants to use it for
