Prioritising my internet for CS:GO

[✪ Syron ~ Road to Supreme]

Hey guys, I have 100mbp/s internet with Virgin Media using a wireless card that supports 400mbp/s. But for some reason when my sister stream on Netflix I get 200+ ping? Is there any way I can prioritise my computer or CS:GO?

Limit her connection speed in router settings is probably the best way. But make sure you leave enough room for the netflix streaming.

Is it possible to do that as she uses Netflix on a Samsung Galaxy tablet?

what hardware are you using for the internet connection?

isp, modem, router
are you using wireless or wired connections to the router/modem?

most routers will have qos settigns
you can assign your pc as priority, and others as bulk

The router downstairs is a Virgin Media super hub, and I connect wirelessely with a TP-Link TL-WDN4800 450Mbps Wireless N Dual Band PCI Express Adapter

[_I_]

if the router supports 5ghz channels, use that instead of the 2.4ghz channels

goto speedtest.net to get your max download speed that you get

go to the router config page
http:// router ip
to get your router ip
start -> run/search -> cmd
ipconfig /all

router ip will be dhcp server, dns server, gateway
most are 192.168.x.1

give the router qos settng 90% of your download speed for total
and set your pc as priority, and the rest as bulk

you do not understand qos

[_I_]

if you set the qos max download limits to less than the isp, it will work as you specify in the router qos rules

if the max is over the isp limit, the isp qos rules will be applied

My modem doesn't support QoS, is there anything else I can do? Surely with 100Mbps internet I shoulnd't get 200+ ping when someone is streaming?

This is the speedtest result I get

grab a network cable and try with that instead of wireless

if the router is worth anything it will have qos settigns

if it does not have qos settigns, pick up a good router

if its a modem/router combo, disable its wifi, and plug the new router into it
(you will need to change the 2nd router ip to something other than the orig router)
ex. if virgin hub is 192.168.0.1, change new router ip to 192.167.1.1

I don't have one that will reach too my room unfortunately

[_I_]

if your router has qos settigns, you can limit the traffic to 90% of the isp limit
then the highway will never be crouded enough for the isp qos rules to apply

[✪ Syron ~ Road to Supreme]

But is there any way to do with without QoS as my router doesn't support it?

[_I_]

1. that why ther is qos, to limit/shape traffic, qos settings on the router can limit downsteam bandwitdh
either way, a router that properly supports qos can limit it lower than the isp/modem so they are not limitig it to fifo instead of qos rules

2. its possible that the router is limiting it, getting a different router will help if its not he modem thats limiting it

3. he has a 450mb/s nic pci-e dual band (dual band = 2.5ghz and 5ghz channels)
thats why i recomended him to use the 5ghz wifi channels, there will be less interferene on it

[_I_]

yes it can limit downsteram speeds

during network communication, the router can send start/stop signals to the isp network to limit it

look up flow control
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_%28data%29

[_I_]

tcp/ip is the protocol
the lan hardware has flow control, or esle there would be data loss all over the place
