Hello guys i bought new router that support qos feature because i want to play games without lag and i have 2mbps about 220 KB/s so what should i do with my qos setup to give up the lag and lattency i have in the house two smartphone devices help plz???
I have found out that i only need 50kb/s to play on 90 ping and , it wont lag , so i was thinking if there is anyway to reserve 50kb for my PC , i dont want anyone to use that amount, my brother would still have about 175kb , and he can watch 360p videos continuously without stopping to load

You need to always talk about network speeds in bits/sec not bytes/sec. Pretty much the only things that uses bytes/sec is file transfers. All configurations of QoS in routers is in bits/sec. The only ones that I have seen that are in bytes are related to things like monthly data caps.

More speed is always better until you get to the point you can not actually use it all. The rates you are talking about are small compared to the amount of data used. When you consider many people now want to watch 4k video and netflix recommends you have 25mbps to watch that your connection is tiny.

To even watch 360p video on youtube it is recommended you have at least 1mbps. Most games programs require 500kbps and some are more. Many...
It is going to be really hard with that little bandwidth. The problem with using QoS on a small connection is how it calculates the rates. They are average rates so you get burst of traffic above the limit but on average it will limit the traffic.

50kb is extremely small most games are closer to 500bps. Your router needs the ability to set hard bandwidth reservations by IP. I would start with a number say 1mbps to start and make sure it actually works then try to reduce it.

Some router you are going to have to limit the "other" traffic to some value say 1mbps which leaves 1mbps unused for your machine. QoS setting is very inconsistent between routers.
 


 


I tested my ping by downloading while i am playing i was giving my android device 100 KB/s and downloading a game while i am playing csgo first without without downloading my ping was 90 after he go up to 140, so i said that good with download 140 ping so i have to allocate more bandwidth so. I decide to speed up my internet speed by my isp to 3 mbps or 4 mbps, so i want to aks if speed up my interenet speed it's work qos limiting bandwith my device and give my pc 100 or 150 KB/s more bandwidth?? And thank you
 


I have LB-Link w3000 i can limit bandwidth by IP address
Yes dsl
 


My question is if i speed up my internet speed to 400 KB/s or 300 it will work?

Many gamers also run voice to servers like discord adding even more. Be aware games also need upload bandwidth in the same 500kpbs. On very small connection you can also overload your upload rate.

If you can get a faster connection I would it will likely help a lot. You are running so close the limits. Loading a web page with lots of photos on it can max the connection for close to a full second which will cause game lag and maybe stall video.
