Gaming Lag
I believe my wife's streaming habits are hogging up all of our bandwidth. What can I do? I've modified congestion control, updated bandwidth allocation, and checked traffic prioritization. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Gaming Lag
Is the device your wife is streaming from connected to the XR router, or is it connected to the upstream router?
It needs to be connect to the XR in order for QoS to be able to prioritise your games over that traffic.

Re: Gaming Lag
So the streaming is taking place on the PS4?
Can you disable the DumaOS classified games rule, then add a new rule for your PS5 and select 'games console' as the service. See how it feels after that.

Re: Gaming Lag
Correct. The PS4 has become a streaming machine.
I had a special rule created for the PS5, prior to last night, but it didn't seem to make any difference. The network snapshot photo was taken a few minutes prior to the traffic priority photo. I removed the rule to see if leaving the default options checked made any difference - it didn't.
I wish there was a way to limit bandwidth being allocated to the PS4. Is that a thing?

Re: Gaming Lag
Prior to late last night, I had both DumaOS Classified Games and Work At Home turned off with the PS5 rule on. I didn't notice any difference.

Re: Gaming Lag
It's a Netgear Nighthawk CM1200 (CM1200100NAS).
All devices are connected to the router. Prior to yesterday, I had Congestion Control set to always. Last night, I switched it to auto-enable - just to see if it made any difference. Which option is more preferable in my situation? Thanks.

Re: Gaming Lag
Got it. Thank you.
How do you limit bandwidth allocation for a particular device? I've only been able to figure out how to do it by application, which I think is part of the problem. I wonder if it thinks the PS4 is a gaming device - I tried changing it's function under Device Manager, but that didn't alter it's bandwidth allocation.
Where can I find the Share Excess option? Do I click the menu button next to "Bandwidth Allocation - Download"? I'm not at home right now; I apologize for my ignorance.
