    Hi,

    I would like to configure my router (ASUS ac66u) so that my STB gets priority traffic.

    There is an in built traffic management tool in the GUI called Q.O.S (Quality of service) which allows you to identify a I.P , PORT# , service type etc.

    But I don't really understand it.

    here is a screen shot of the QOS menu..

    It looks pretty straight forward....enter desires i.p of box etc

    but what service type and port am i looking to set?

    Set up a static ip address on the STB. Set the ports to 1:20000 (to include 1 to 20,000, most ports) or something, I don't know what port it uses (by port I mean: Http/web operates from 80, https/ssl 443, ftp 21 etc.).

    Then you can set the IP address of the STB for priority on the network

    I know what you're at, you know the destination port of the connection (the port of your cline) so add this as a new service port and set a static ip (or DHCP reservation) on your sat box and protocol TCP in the QOS settings of your router

    I selected any of them. What it does it autofill thre ports field when selected.

    I simply then manually changed the port number to that which my cline is in.

    Thanks again man. I must owe you a heap of pints at this stage :)

    That may not work, you most likely need to find the section where you add these services and create a new service

    There is nowhere to setup a service and the drop down list is predefined.

    When i manually changed the ports and saved I am showing an entry for:
    • stb I.P/MAC
    • destination port 29030
    • protocol :TCP
    on the GUI.


    I will suck it and see.
