Hi.

I need to have a good internet conncetion for gaming at one of the 5 computers we have at home. Normally it's fine, but when other members of the family starts to download stuff I get terrible latency, normally I have around 40ms, and if it's over 100ms I cant really play, and when there's alot of downloading going on it can give me ping at 400ms :s!

So I wonder if it's possible to give myself more internet somehow.. I can see 2 possible ways, one good and one less good.

1. Somewhere in the Router, there is a setting that allows me to give my own computer some sort of prioritze that will make sure that I will always have X amount of internet so i dont start to lag. When Iam not online the other computers get the full internet back.

2.Simply reduce the ammount of internet other computers have. Bad thing with this is tho, that when iam not playing, they still have the decreased internet.


That was just me speculating on how it might be done, but I have no idea . So what should i do?

I have a D-link 685.

I presume you have enabled the
QoS Lag Eliminated option?

Unfortunately I don't see any QoS options that allow for customization of priorities like other model routers like the DGL-4500 or DIR-825 and 655 series routers. Not sure if this router has good capabilities to use it's QoS well with all yor devices going and help maintain QoS and prevent lag as well as some of the other router models. The other model routers you can all in rules for specific devices and there IP addresses and specify ports and prioritize them. You can see an example of these over on the DGL-4500 forum and review the Gaming, QoS and Gamefuel sticky for XBL.
