Hello, I need help from someone, preferably with an IT background or someone who understands QOS. Ill be attaching pictures. My max bandwith is 3.4mb and its split between 5 people. I'm a gamer and its impossible to play online when people are streaming or watching videos. I've tried messing with my QOS settings to give priority to my computer and I've had no luck. I want to setup QOS so that i have very minimal lag. If someone understands how to setup QOS on a router like this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Solution
With 3Mbit total bandwidth, that just won't happen unless you exclude all others from using the internet. QOS can not fix too little bandwidth.
Try edgerouter X fw_codel QoS $50.
QoS is effective as long as your connection is quality is strong. when you look at packets coming in you have to limit it below your valleys. if your connection has +/- 20% peak/valley it won't shape well.

gaming is the easiest to shape. trying to allocate high bandwidth is very difficult.

I have less bandwidth than you can run QoS. I can't increase my bandwidth. If you can get more for a reasonable price do that.
