Hello, I would like to try QoS but I really don't have a clue on how to set this up. My internet connection is 40 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up. The devices that I have are as follows; Roku TV (4K), Roku Streaming Stick (capped at 1080p), 2 laptops one is for web browsing and email, the other streams heavy stuff over my network (SDR server), and my desktop that I use for gaming. Also, there are 2 phones on my network.
My issue is that when my mom is streaming HD (from Crave / Netflix / Disney+) in the living room and my TV is streaming 4K video, I've noticed that my TV will reduce the picture quality when the other Roku device is grabbing the data. Is there a way that I can set something so the router will give my TV the most bandwidth and enough to keep the 4K video from buffering, then at the same time, keep the Roku stick playing back the HD video without any buffering?
I also play Flight Simulator 2020 with the online features enabled, so that likes to max out my internet speed as well.
My router is the RT-AC1900P.
If I can set the priorities based on my devices, it would be ....
1. My desktop (for gaming)
2. 4K TCL Roku TV
3. My laptop (SDR streaming over LAN)
(the first two devices are never online at the same time)
4. Roku Streaming Stick
5. Mom's laptop (facebook / email)
6. Samsung Galaxy A51
7. Samsung Galaxy A52 5g
So, my main goal would be to find a way to stream 2160p video to my TV without affecting my mom's Roku Stick. We usually watch Netflix, Disney+, or Crave at the same time on 2 different TV's. Also, I would like my online games to be less "choppy", could be speed or latency.
There's nothing more annoying than watching a movie and it lowers the quality so it can buffer.
