Has anyone any experience of using the Qos setup on the vm supplied Netgear WNR2000.
Im thinking of trying to setup the Qos feature on the above mentioned router, and as ive never used or come across this feature before and was hoping for a little help and advice on the best way to set it up.
Currently I have
1 x Laptop (wireless)
1 x PC (wireless)
1 x xbox 360 (wired)
1 x PS3 (wired)
All the above are on fixed ip address's set up in the router config, port forwarding and reduced MTU to 1400 has been done for the PS3, ive tried this for the xbox also but it hasnt improved at all, also tried dmz to no avail.
The main benefit's I,m hoping to glean from someone is how to limit the ammount of bandwidth used by the pc and laptop (or prioritise the consoles), for when online gaming as they effect my connection considerably eg when the wife is downloading from youtube etc.
Also in hopes to help stabilise my connection for online gaming purely on the xbox,
The PS3 is running beautifully so i dont want to change that if possible.
On the whole since I upgraded to XXL BB, online gaming has improved but not really on the xbox 360, The PS3 has massively improved, so i,m thinking the xbox is more fussy about fluctuations in bandwidth possibly but i dont know.
Any feedback is welcome
