Can I lower streaming video priority on a WNR1000v3?
Is there a setting I can make in my router to either decrease the priority of streaming video or increase the priority of my Citrix remote desktop connection? I use Citrix remote desktop to the o...
There are no other settings you can adjust aside from using the QoS.
QoS will help you to prioritize which devices/application that needs more attention and that's the only thing it can do.
There is no specific setting in the router that lets you define how much speed should a specific device/application should have.
You may perhaps look into some 3rd party software that would let you configure the settings you require.
May need a DD-WRT or similar device to do this. I'm not interested in flashing my Netgear so probably I will stand up a small computer as a pfSense router then turn the Netgear into a switch/AP. That is, if upgrading Comcast to 25 Mbit doesn't do the job, which it may.
Here's what I see with two Netflix streams going, even at the lowest bandwidth:

Although I'd still like to know if it's possible to do this within the router, the upgrade in speed fixed the problem. It was applied MUCH faster than I anticipated it would be applied. Kids are in the front room watching Netflix and here's my ping times now. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

And the QoS only adjusts the upstream. I'd said above I'll likely use third party software so it looks like that's my only choice.
