Title: QoS Engine - DIR-825 with Online games - Not working
Post by: Everius on May 05, 2010, 03:09:57 PM
Hello everyone,

I'm far from being a specialist with routers but I have bough this router for all the functionalities it gives : USB port, dual band and most of all the QoS Engine.

I play video games online, especially World of Warcraft.

I share the connection with someone that likes to download all day (Bit torrent, direct dowload and other dowloading programs)

I mostly use my connection for my games during the evening so I have to ask him to stop all his dowloads in order to play, because after setting up the IP adresses correctly for the priority on the line, it doesn't seem to work at all.

What I have done:

-I have set a static Ip adress for my computer (192.168.0.10), and I have put the priority "1", with protocol bein "any" and remote IP range being all of them (0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255).
-Enable QoS Engine is marked, as well as Enable Traffic Shaping and Dynamic Fragmentation.
-I have put a Manual Uplink Speed of 512 kbps.

-I have set for him a static adress too (192.168.0.11), and I have put the priority "8", with protocol bein "any" and remote IP range being all of them (0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255).

After doing all this, when I log on my games, and he is dowloading I don't see a difference at all on the latency, everything is red at around 1000 to 5000 ms of ping.

Is there anything else I can do to make this work and have the bandwith being splitted as I want for my games ?

I've trying to look at old post about the B1 version, and I havn't found a real anwser  :-\

I've tried to put one single priority this time, with my computer being priority "1", but again, when someone else on another computer is dowloading stuff, my connection gets red in WoW and other games.

Anyone knows a solution to make the QoS engine work properly ?

bump .....

Anyone have an idea for my problem ?

Another question: Can I downgrade my B1 Router to a A1 firmware ? A1 version seems to allow bandwith limitations for the wireless network.

Thank you in advance

No you cannot. B1 routers use totally different hardware not compatible with A1 firmware.

Bump,

Thx for the awnser Athan.

I don't know how to make the QoS engine work as intended for my games ... I partially bough this router for that feature.

Any Help ?
