That is strange that it did not take it as a source mac address.

Your configuration is correct and it should favor one class over the other but it kinda depends what exactly they mean by highest and high. Does the higher one get a certain percentage more or does it get all it wants and the lower can get none. Would have to read the manual I guess.

Bad news is it likely will not accomplish what you want.

In almost all cases in a home environment you exceed your download bandwidth well before you exceed your upload bandwidth. Unfortunately you can only control the traffic you are sending ie your upload bandwidth. So even if you can decide which traffic is more important as you send it the ISP router is in control of the traffic...

Unfortunately you can only control the traffic you are sending ie your upload bandwidth. So even if you can decide which traffic is more important as you send it the ISP router is in control of the traffic being sent to your house and they choose to not offer a QoS service to home users. If you exceed the download bandwidth the ISP will decide which traffic to discard and there is little your router can do. The traffic is gone.

Now if you do at times exceed your upload bandwidth then your configuration might have some beneficial impact.

With that router you can't. There are some high end asus or tplink routers that have the ability to put a fixed INBOUND limit on the traffic. Still this is a hack in effect and only works on certain traffic. Basically what it does is drop even more of the traffic that has already used up your internet connection in the theory if it causes enough errors the application will detect it and slow down. This works for many common application but some it has no effect on other than to cause all the data to be retransmitted.

There is no solution to this problem since the ISP is in control and they choose not to care. They would be more than happy to sell you more bandwidth or have you run a separate internet connection to the house for each person.

Not sure what those are.

There is no way to load software on say your machine to control other machines. You would have to load something on every machine and then in effect have them limit themselves. It is going to be very tricky to get to work properly since they have no idea what other devices are doing.

Say you had 5m of download internet and had 3 devices. You could set the limits on 2 to 1m each. This would leave 3m unused for your primary machine. It is a very wasteful way to accomplish this because there is no way increase the limit when the main machine is not using it.

And again like a router this only partially works. For example say I limit the machine to 1m. Now the application they open streams 2m videos and does not have the option to run any slower. What will happen is the person will open the application and the server will send 2m/sec now the filter software or the router will go you are over your limit so I will drop 1m and only let you have half the data. So now until the person watching gets frustrated and turns off the application you are still burning 2m of bandwidth but only giving the person 1m. It does not actually reduce the bandwidth used until the person gets mad and stops running the application.

You really can't fix not enough bandwidth other than buying more.
