Limiting bandwidth

Throwing a broader net for

I've limited the priority throught the QoS for my Essentials WiFi 6 (WAX204) 
But somehow the Xbox overwrites(?) this. And honestly I'm baby faced new to this so the only tool I've used is the QoS priority.

Re: Limiting bandwidth

'm trying to watch a video (Baseplate) & I'm the "highest" priority. However the Xbox (Xbox) which is idle is still using 22.77Mbps. I've just been kicked out of a match of Siege due to poor internet connectivity. Untitled.png

Re: Limiting bandwidth

I elaborate in my previous posts but in short:

  • Xbox consumes all network bandwidth
  • This crashes the internet for the rest of the network
  • Xbox doesn't have a means of limiting it's internet usage
  • QoS is inneffective
  •  
  • Because Netgear isn't working. I've been looking through the forum for a solution to this problem, and the proposed solution for Netgear doesn't work

I've tried

No effect

Not able to follow these instructions on my Netgear interface; but this looks the most promising as it's MAC based


previous posts if you need a breakdown of the setup/specs
