Hey there, this is my first post. Sorry, I didn´t look it up the question first because, well, I don´t know exactly how to ask it. I know what I want, but I dont know if it exists:
I live in a house where all devices are connected through wifi. Pretty standard nowadays. laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc. All serve different purposes for different people.
What I need is to setup the connection so that I can prioritize ONE DEVICE over all others, my priority is to keep latency as low as possible in this device.
The break up: One of the devices is a tablet used for VoIP. The problem is the people downloading and using facebook. That kills the calls´ quality. I want a device which can either:
1) Shape traffic so that latency is kept as low as possible in the most important device, and reserve a certain bandwidth, too (Ideally, a parameter I can set up myself, not some "smart algorithm" I can´t modify)
2) Throttle all other connections when the most important device "starts working" (this one is at once obscure, rigid and naughty to the users, so I would rather the first option)
Does this exist?
Please don´t suggest me to use two devices like this
I have used this setup with good results, but it has disadvantages of its own. I want an alternative to this. Thanks in advance
