R7450 NIGHTHAWK Router Internet issues
Hello,
I'm currently experiencing internet issues with my R7450 nighthawk router. My home internet speed is roughly 60Mbps and usually has 6 to 8 devices connected to it. Not all of these devices will be using the internet at the same time though. My main issue is when one of the laptops at my house is doing somthing my ping/lag skyrockets on my gaming pc. My gaming pc is hard wired in to the router and the laptops are all wireless. I tried setting up a qos for my gaming pc but it didnt seem to work. Can someone help me with why my wired PC is slower than/recieving less bandwidth than the wireless devices on my network?

what modem do you have?
what firmware is on the router?
Are you using qos on the router?
- Currently I use a modem that is provided by CenturyLink internet provider. As far as I know my r7450 is up to date on the newest firmware. I believe I have qos setup. I have my gaming pc set to the highest priority and all the other devices in my home set to the normal.
- The qos I setup though didnt seem to work. My wired gaming pc was receiving less internet speed than the wireless laptops. I checked this by doing speed test on the devices and also seen this in my in game ping.
