QoS Configuration Help

[nehalem]

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for people who can help me configure this modem-router combo from my ISP. It has a QoS setting but i have no clue what each of those do. I've tried searching about it but i think i've reached my limit in trying to understand all of it.

Now on the router i want to configure it so that it gives my PC highest priority so hopefully it would lessen the ping spikes i get when i play online games since i share the internet with my siblings.
We use a Wi-Fi connection.

ISP is PLDT and the router+modem combo is a baudtec something something.

here are screen caps of the options available.

Thank you in advance for those who can help!

What sort of traffic is clogging up your connection? For example: Netflix, P2P/torrents, cloud backups/uploads.

The QoS settings you show seem too limited to offer much help though, so be ready for that...

well. its probably just web surfing (e.g. facebook, twitter) and youtube. well. id rather try it than nothing at all.

Without a way to rate-limit specific things like YouTube and HTTP below your max download rate, those services always have the capability of saturating your download and causing latency/ping spikes.

Simple priority-based QoS only allows global rate-limiting, which will not help your situation.

oh. okay. what is global rate-limiting? could you please explain. I'm interested in learning about networking stuff.

I mean that you can only limit the maximum bitrate ("rate-limiting") of all (global) traffic, not individual traffic types.


If you are interested in more info about QoS, my favorite intro is http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/qos-tutorial.68795/. It focuses on the "tomato" OS, but most of the information is OS-agnostic.
