Bandwidth Traffic Control

[Char_Biggu]

How come my brother is able to play HD youtube videos on his ipad without buffering while it takes me forever to load a video on my computer when I do it at the same time?  Is there a way to make my computer a higher priority on the router?  Would be nice if I didn't get 300 ping in CS:GO when he's watching youtube videos at the same time.

 

I use a LAN cable btw.  Though I don't use it all the time since it barely reaches my computer.

There can be such a feature to limit the bandwidth to particular devices but its a router by router thing.

For that you would need to set up some QoS most consumer or ISP routers cant do advanced stuff - so the easiest way would be to limit your wifi speed if possible on the network that your brother connects to

 

Might also be your MTU that is set wrong on your router - if you have your own router connected to your ISPs modem/router, you need to research the settings yourself - if you are using a router supplied by your ISP, try calling them and have them check its settings in this regard.
