Traffic prioritization help!
Hi nighthawkers, I want to add my ps4 manually to traffic prioritization. The steps are add device, chose a game! Here is the issue... the game I want is pro evolution soccer 2020, which is not liste...
I personally would recommend just using the DumaOS Classified Games option
I think it is the only way possible. I tried to adjust the input manually and I left the source port as default (1-65535) and I tried many ports for destination port, for example (80). When I do that, the traffic prioritization is triggered as soon as I run the ps4 but I can't use the anti bufferbloat, so I can't control the bandwidth. When I put the source port as (80) and the destination port as (80) the traffic prioritization is not triggered! I tried to cahange the ports and still not triggered. I think it is a software's bug or something. So I will stuck with default Duma sittings. Thank you for your answer.
- It's not a bug. Either using DumaOS Classified Games or use the 'Console' service to add the PS4 manually and it will work and allow you to use QoS at the same time.
- Hi Fraser,
You are not answering my question. I know the default works fine and I know if I use to add the ps manually and choose games console also works fine, but both options will triggered just when I run a game or do a connection test on ps4. My question was if there is anyway I can make my ps4 get top priority when I turn it on and keep that always without starting a game. If there is not, then thank you.- It's meant for low bandwidth applications like games, if it was to be enabled all the time then downloads would also be prioritized and cause your other devices to lag/buffer. You can do it but it'll cause you issues. Having it on the settings suggested will mean it only prioritizes the game when its needed.
