Prioritizing internet for xbox 360

nathan99

So basically i want to prioritize my internet for my xbox as people in the house are always streaming stuff and it affects tremendously. After googling my options it appears a thing called QOS (quality of service) is an option but the problem is i dont know how to set it up.
here are a few pictures of my internet settings and what im dealing with. http://gyazo.com/6e10ae91e94a7c1fdfb79d70b32b9588 http://gyazo.com/a34f52dfd44faaaba72ca70e5cb860b8 http://gyazo.com/c87c265307b711c5eb043f44fd4f0932 http://gyazo.com/557b89a76f359ae45f22ae9524541b2d

Interesting that you get that level of QOS control but you should turn it off.

The stream packets are almost certainly tagged with a higher priority then your xbox360 so your giving them better access to the bandwidth available.

Your problem is here is twofold, wireless is a bad medium for shared consistent traffic, for implementing any realistic QOS control and in your case its being rate limited to G(20Mbps real world speed)

And your router does QOS properly but you would looking for something more along the lines of rate limiting based on the host address, which isn't really QOS and from the options isn't something that's available.

Best option here would be to get your Xbox off wireless and either cable it or use powerline adapters. Second best would be new router, but its effects would be negligible compared to the first.
