I tried setting up some basic rules for my home router's QoS, but I haven't been successful so far.
What I want to do is to give certain MAC addresses a "privilege", and limit all the other computers in local network to 10 Mbps. So for example, if I'm streaming a HD movie or torrenting on a limited computer, I don't want it to affect the privileged computers (while gaming, for example).
In my current QoS setup, I'm creating a rule for MAC address of a certain computer and assigning it to Queue 1 (higher priority) and creating a rule for all other local IP addresses and assigning them to Queue 2 (lower priority) as well as limiting their bandwidth. However, this isn't working as it should.
Here are the screenshots of current QoS setup attempt:
Thank you for your help.
Thank you very much for helping. The router has 8 queues on default, 1-8, with 1 being the highest priority. Do I need to set a rule for the router (192.168.1.1) and if yes, does it need to be in higher priority queue than other rules (e.g. router in q1, privileged q2, limited q3)? – leonz – 2018-02-08T23:57:46.673
No, since your router is doing the actual queuing. It Is just prioritizing the traffic you designate, as it comes to the gateway (router). You are very welcome btw – Tim_Stewart – 2018-02-09T00:01:18.830
