How to Set Bandwidth Priority for PC Over Laptop on Home Router With 1mb/s Internet

freezzz1 32031 19
Best answers

How can I set bandwidth priority on my home router so my PC has priority over a laptop and my game ping stays low when the laptop is in use?

Yes—use the router’s Bandwidth Control/QoS on the router that is connected directly to the internet, set the total line speed correctly, and then limit the laptop’s bandwidth so your PC has priority [#12693266] For a 1 Mb/s line, one reply suggested entering about 1024 kb/s download and about 128 kb/s upload, then restricting the sister’s device in the Bandwidth Control settings [#12693266] On the TP-Link TL-WR740N, one reply said you can also use the original firmware’s Bandwidth Control tab, or flash alternative firmware such as Gargoyle if needed [#12693187][#12693256] However, another reply warned that if the upload is already too low and gets clogged, QoS/bandwidth control may not fully solve the lag [#12693233]

    Hello...
    I have such a problem ;)
    Because I have a wi-fi network at home and my internet is 1mb/s and now the cable goes from the router to the computer and the laptop is via wifi...
    And now when my sister is on the laptop and I play games I have a ping of 500 and now this question is whether it is possible to change in the router so that there is no such lag ? I mean, for example, that in the laptop was weaker internet and in the computer was better and that there was no lag
    add that when my sister is not on the laptop I have a ping of 40

    It depends on what kind of router you have - specify the model.

    tl-wr740n - you upload an alternative FW and split the link as needed - make sure which hardware version.

    Find the nameplate (on the router) and read the hardware version of the router from it.

    All you need is the original FW, Bandwidth Control tab.

    The easiest way is for your sister to turn off movie/music downloading programs and not sit on youtube (possibly watching online videos). This will suffice completely.

    You have too low upload and the link gets clogged. For this even QoS or other brandwidth control will not help.

    He can always try, after all, games do not need so much bandwidth.

    If refreshing the page is also too much, you already got the right advice: Bandwitch Controll in the router (the one connected directly to the neostrada/netiostrada or whatever you have). The whole link: download 1Mb (1024kb), upload (I assume, but enter such as you have): 128kb. Limit sister to: Download

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around optimizing a home Wi-Fi network to reduce lag while gaming, particularly when another user is streaming content on a laptop. The user has two TP-Link routers: a TL-WR543G connected to the internet and a TL-WR740N for wireless access. Suggestions include checking the hardware version of the TL-WR740N, using alternative firmware to manage bandwidth, and enabling Bandwidth Control in the router settings. Users also recommend limiting the sister's internet usage during gaming sessions and considering an upgrade to a faster internet plan due to the low upload speed, which contributes to high ping times.
