I'm not too sure I fully understand this QOS. Here's my situation:

I have a simple home network with a few wired/wireless computers, a nas array, and an xbox 360. I would like to have it such that torrents use the maximum amount of bandwidth they can - without affecting the other computers. I'd also enjoy certain games and the xbox to have the highest priority in terms of latency.

Can this be achieved with QOS? What about this W.I.S.H which I understand even less?

Thank you!

Tried Wikipedia or Google for some explaination? Ypou can also search the forum, there is lots of info on this subject already provided by users.

well just leave them at 125 priority, or limit the number of connections on the torrent client, you can try as well as manually setting the upload rate in the gatway to something a little less than your actually upload. Make sure you have dynamic fragmentation left turned on. Other than that it's trial and error. Torrents will always hog bandwidth and the only solution is to limit their bandwidth on the torrent client, get a separate internet connection or dont use it at all.

What I did was just give all clients browsing priority and left everything else. so ports 80, 443, 53 all had priority over everthing else. I set it to, well i forget. 32.



in terms of games, kyou are going to have to find out each and every port used. This image is very basic. Local port range I left all ports open because well, windows likes to use random ports to connect outward. You can see this by going to router logs you will find your ip address with a port connected to an ip address on port 80. IE: 192.168.0.187:3462 > 24.112.231.5:80

So. local port range leave wide open. remote port is the actual port your connecting on.ie: 80, 880, 21 etc.
The Francis computer i gave the lowest of low priority because I was always frustrated with his torrents killing the bandwith to the point where the router was so saturated it quit working.

Sorry if i made it a little confusing, i'm not really payign attention to what im writing, but in my head it sounds ok.

ttfn.

you have to be careful.  the way you want QoS to work is you don't want to give torrents and games that hog bandwidth the higher priority.
QoS is to enforce better sharing so that lower bandwidth use items like web browsing can still happen when you have the zillion connections going for torrents (previous to this router I could grind my internet connection to a halt with torrents and could no longer web browse.)
