New Router

Go to solution Solved by haloharry97,

rt-ac87u been using for almost 2years now, :P i have set my pc to top priority and gaming to top priority as well,
if you have the cash you can get rt-ac88u witch is newer. 

Hey, I have a  6 megabit line, and when anyone else uses the internet when I,m playing say LoL, I get 200-2000 ping. 
This leads to me waking up 01:00 am to play when the other are sleeping.
So I am wondering if there is any Routers that I can set my PC as top priority? 350$ price range, and no I cant buy better speed were i live.

If the other users dont mind or care, Download Netlimiter or an alternative and shape their download to 80% of the total and upload to 60-70% of the total upload.

Should give you ample to game on and not restrict their needs much at all..

 

Depending what you have to start with of course.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

The other users are 2 smartphones, 1 Ipad, 1 smart-tv, and my brothers PC.

So i,m guessing that i can only install Netlimiter on the two PC's.

Also my line is 750kb not 6000kb in chase you get Megabit and MegaByte mixed up.

I feel your pain bro, 550Kb/s here.
Can you activate QOS on your router for Wireless?

I can limit wireless to a percentage of total bandwidth (up and down) with my Router alone. (But prefer Netlimiter cos only 1 person here uses Wifi anyway and hardly) Setting 60-80% for each UP and Down on Router for Wireless may alleviate some issue.

Your current router doesn't support any form of QoS at all?

That's... Actually surprising to me. Even a cheapo $40 router I had 10+ years ago had QoS...
