Help with internet traffic monitoring!!!

Hi, I live with 5 roommates and they all connect to the wifi using several devices each. As you can imagine, this creates tremendous lag and interruptions when I am trying to use my device. I was wondering if there is any way to set up some sort of QoS or regulating how much bandwidth each device gets while I am trying to game. I will really appreciate help with this as it is extremely frustrating trying to play while lagging or trying to do my assignments while the websites I need do not load. Thank you all for your assistance!

    Hello jsiria100

     

    There is no setting in Netgear routers that can do exactly what you are looking for.

      Is there no Netgear router that has a user configurable QoS at all?

        Hello jsiria100

         

        Yes Nighthawk routers do have Qos not our cable modems but Qos can not set bandwidth caps on individual devices.
