Prioritize Ethernet over Wifi

James0410 · May 1, 2016

When gaming on my desktop computer directly plugged in my router over an ethernet cable, as soon as anybody else hops on Wifi with their Ipad or Computer, it makes the internet speeds on the computer very very slow.

I was wondering if there is any way to make the router prioritize ethernet over Wifi to avoid this problem.

Thank you in advance !

Some routers can do that, depends on the model, whats your exact brand and model?

You're in luck, that router does support QoS which means you can do this. Go into the routers settings and look for QoS

This is your router's manual check page 50 for QoS settings

Enable it for both upstream and downstream, and make sure to open these ports in there:

To be honest it is a bit complicated on your router, you may want to try the "Default QoS" and see if that does it for you before working on this.

Can't seem to find the qos settings...

I'm using telus if that helps

If this is true then I am out of luck !

Yeah its possible they locked those settings out. Not surprising

What you could do is see about them giving you just a modem without a router and then get your own that you can configure.
