need help with QoS and Prioritizing network connects.

[LordTumnas]

Hello,

My net connection is awful (7 down/0.4 up). And where i live means i cant get any better, so im trying to get the most out of it, i game, and both my housemates stream a lot of videos/movies. im trying to set up QoS, however from reading some other, australian, forums my router doesnt really support QoS (thomson TG782T) however, is it possible to prioritize a whole ethernet connection? Similiar to the way you prioritize the port a game runs off, could you do that to a whole computer by setting the router to prioritize "ethernet_4" for example?

As you can probably see, im a networking noob. So ANY help is appreciated

Thanks, Lordtumnas

You could try but it all depends on how the router prioritises/shapes traffic.

 

The modem/router combos that you get from your ISP generally do not come feature rich as ISPs will use the most cost effective solution that they can.

This is an isp one. I was thinking about upgrading to an Asus or D-link at some stage anyway
