will get more information and update this tomorrow



I have a Comtrend Router, not sure which one i'll get that in a few hours

And a Asus SP-AC2015. I don't know how they're both running so i'll check tomorrow, i'm more of a pc guy not a network guy. I checked the router homepage and saw no QoS option on it, I saw one on comtrend but yeah


Problem is when netflix/youtube starts streaming, gameplay on ANYTHING becomes unplayable to a point where I have to get off (680-2560ms usually)


Internet is 3.0MBPS Download and 0.70MBPS Upload

The asus one you can likely load the asus merlin firmware on it which has many options.

Problem you have is your bandwidth is just too small to run both applications. Even simple web surfing has so much image data now days that you can easily spike to your max bandwidth for a couple of seconds.

Although you could likely go to a lot a trouble trying to setup QoS....any you can only partially do it because the ISP has already decided what will fit and you can not magically get data back it discarded and discard something else.

With a connection as small as yours the QoS would be set in effect so nobody else is allowed to use the connection when games are running. It would limit the bandwidth on the streaming video so severely...

In your case it will be simpler to get some agreement that others just don't use the connection when you want to play games.....which may not be possible.

There really is no magic solution to not enough bandwidth.
