Title: Question about WISH
Post by: Rift on July 17, 2009, 03:29:40 PM

Iv got a question about WISH that I'm unable to find some clarity on. I have a laptop on the network that likes to stream video online frequently. This of course dominates all the bandwidth so that if I'm playing a game it totally lags it.

I was wondering if its possible to use WISH to limit or rather prioritize the video streams so that they would in fact take up less bandwidth but at the same time not lag the game and still be able to stream the video. I read a few posts that said QOS was for this but that only controls UPSTREAM traffic from what iv read. Can WISH solve this problem, I haven't been able to find much a few settings on some random forums but nothing I try works.

WISH allows prioritization of multimedia traffic between WISH enabled devices inside your own WLAN.  So I don't think this is going to help you with your goal.
