Limiting WiFi Bandwidth

LawrenceBarnes2013 · May 9, 2015

how can do that, my router is really favoring the other computers in my house on my wifi network, so the Networking experience got really slow, i use a HG530 router

i could really use a walk through how that's done

I was going to say QOS but that depends if it can be configured to preference pcs.

Is there an option to configure preference to particular pcs though?

routers (especially cheaper ones) prioritize the "strongest signal"

so you could change yourself to be the strongest signal, meaning you'll get more speed than the others.

i've done this for years on our D-link, before that caught fire.

i think there is put there just one too many fields to fill

The Huawei routers have pretty cool QoS options. You don't need to fill out all the options. Find your MAC address and fill out that field, or even better if you are directly connected to the router, just select the ethernet port. Set the minimum bandwidth option, a value that defines how much of the internet is reserved only for your PC. And activate it.
