Is there a way to prioritize devices on a wireless network (30.0 Fiber Optic with Westell 7501 Wireless router).
My older sister and her family moved back in and now there are 9 devices wreaking havoc on my Duty connection.
Im lagging everywhere and this shit HAS to stop, it's killing my K/DR

I see I can set multiple passwords/Keys for my connection, do the higher up passwords take precedents over the lower ones?

Hmm... I think to set up QoS would be beneficial here. You could designate your gaming ports as the highest priority and set everything else as low. Then they have to get in line behind YOU if you're gaming.

Aside from that, unless you're getting into intermediary servers, MAC-based throttling and whatnot, all users, all networks, are equal. Bandwidth is distributed evenly according to need. If one person saturates the connection, they get 30mb. If two people saturate the connection, they get 15mb each. And so on, and so on.

QoS enables you to prioritise certain types of traffic ahead of others - so if some low priority traffic is using 30mb and some high priority traffic needs bandwidth, your router will give it as much as it requires and let the low priority traffic have the rest.

Can't think of any other (easy) way to do this - other than kick your sister & co off the network completely.

Do you know of an accurate guide off-hand to setting up a QoS or is it a product?
Because it sounds like the solution I'm looking for.

it usually depends on your router, but if you access it you should see the option. lots of time it is under advanced settings.

Found it, thanks, now this pops up.

Let's say my ps3's IP address is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
What Modifications do I have to make to ensure that it gets all the bandwidth it needs?

EQ means equals. so basically you enter the device you want to have high priority (the ip of that device, i mean) then go to the comparator box and select greater than, then list everything else

Thanks, but I just upped my bandwidth instead. Not much of a problem anymore.
Thanks again everybody
