Reducing gaming lag caused by wifi
Hi all,
I have a BT Smart Hub plugged into the S8000 and then Xbox, PC and PS4 connected off that. My flat mate likes to watch netflix and youtube on this laptop (wifi) and PS4 (wired) When ever hes watching anything it causes me to lag on my xbox.
Is there anything i can do to help the xbox get more priority, particularly over this laptop on wifi? I've tried setting the priority on the switch to High for Xbox and low for everything else and that makes no difference
And also if the Xbox and PS4 are both on for the Xbox to get priority? Again i've tried setting the ports to High and Low and it doesnt help.
EDIT: Just to add my internet is decent 60-70MB download and 20 ish Upload
Any help would be great thanks

Check your BT Smart Hub QoS settings if supported.

Another option, install a 3rd party application like Network Bandwidth Monitoring Tool or purchase another router that support QoS. S8000 support QoS in LAN side of the switch port only.

Thanks for the options. Think i'll look at a different router to sort the problem, sounds like the most straight forward way to deal with it

The WiFi data streams are not flowing over the switch.
Worth a try would be to install a wireless access point and wire it to the switch, and disable the WiFi on the BT box.

That's all you can we can do on the switch.
