Throttle Bandwidth
Model Version:
Essentials WiFi 6 (WAX204)
NETGEAR WiFi 6 AX1800 Dual Band Wireless Access Point (WAX204)
Firmware: V1.0.2.4
OS: Windows 10
Environment: Home (3 Users)
So the Xbox on my network is taking up a majority of the download speed. It's okay here but it'll spike to 28.82Mbps/30.24MBps and thus every other device on the network grinds to a halt.
I've set it's priority to the lowest; the Xbox doesn't have a means of capping it's internet usage. What else can I do with the router?
I've heard of using a fixed IP but the post was about prioritising the console over the rest of the network; which is the opposite of what I want to do. So I stopped looking into that.
The QoS seems to just be adapting but still giving the lions share to the Xbox.
Better example

Re: Throttle Bandwidth
A fixed/reserved IP does not have influence on bandwidth, unless you use some tool to set bandwidth for a specific IP, which can't be done on NG firmware.

Re: Throttle Bandwidth
So I'd need 3rd party software to limit bandwidth for this. I have to express the internet just stops for everyone when the Xbox starts downloading. And there's gotta be something before pulling the cable out.

Re: Throttle Bandwidth
've already done that; it has the lowest priority on the network. But it overwrites it somehow.
