As the title says, how can I actually make that my PC has the most bandwidth.
When I play games it lags like hell because other are watching youtube and movies over the same internet so i really get bad ping.
Is it actually possible to make my PC the main one. So every time when i play something, or do anything that uses the internet the most, give other devices that are connected to the same router
the left bandwith (that my pc is not using)
I have the ZTE ZXHN H108N V2.5, and btw I can't find the QoS option either.
I am connected over cable (LAN)

If you have looked and not found QoS options then there is nothing you can do. That is the method to even partially attempt to do this. You need to buy a router that has very advanced form of QoS to do what you are asking. This is technically traffic shaping but is called QoS by some routers.

Your much larger problem unless you are the person paying for the internet is the other people will feel they have just as much right to use the internet without their application lagging. Why should your game take priority over their watching movies.

If you pay for the connection just yell down the hall get off the internet you are affecting my usage, much easier than setting up QoS

This would be different if say someone where...

This depends on a few things:

1. How much bandwidth are you supposed to get from the ISP?
2. How much do you get?
3. Wired or WiFi?
4. How many users?
5. Who pays the bill on your connection?
6. Does the router actually have an QoS functionality?

This would be different if say someone where downloading some huge game. Adding a little download time is not as drastic as them not being able to watch their video or use something like a video conference.

Likely there is no solution except to buy a larger internet connection. If you had 100m or 300m you likely would not even be asking this question.
