Is there a such a thing as "Bandwidth Allocation" in standard consumer routers? And if there is, what routers support it? or will i have to build a pfsense box for that?

Kind of. There is QoS, basically it will prioritize traffic over others. Best way to bandwidth allocate though is through a managed router, but those generally are not consumer grade.

I know my ASUS router supports it.  "ASUS RT-AC68W" is the model.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Even if there is, pfsense can be a fun weekend project.
