QOS on CPE B593 router?

[Shurikeeen]

I'm kinda getting kinda sick of playing online with 700 ping spikes. Probably because everyone is downloading horseporn on the Wifi. Can I setup a QOS on this router somehow? It's not on the GUI.

If you can not even find a gui for QoS of any kind you likely can not. Even if you could it takes a very advanced QoS configuration to solve your issue. Most routers that have QoS can only limit the upload....ie data you send to the internet. People seldom overload the upload bandwidth so this feature is of little use even on routers that have it.

On the download side when the connection is overloaded the ISP has decided which traffic to delay or drop. By the time your router gets involved nothing can be done. Pretty much all solution use the download QoS setting to trick end device into requesting data at a slower rate. It does not always work though.

On top of all this the device you are using runs on LTE broadband. Most times LTE runs great but it is a radio like any others. You get random latency spikes and even session drops even when you are the only person in your house using it. This is like having a cell phone call drop randomly you just have to live with it.
