Hello, i just baught the dir 810l because it has QoS settins i had the dir 615 before and it had QoS but couldnt settup manually , i need to settup QoS because i live in a abiding house and share Internet , few people stream tv and such which slows me down, i play call of duty on playstation 4. So im setting up the new router soon and want to settup QoS , but im not to sure how to, i know the manual explains somewhat but not what everything is, i know i have to do speed test on wifi by router and enter the down n up speed and about 85 percentage of that , but im not sure what local ip range, local port range, remote port range and remote ip range , i have no idea what to put there, it would be alot easier if you could just enter the mac address of ps4, also i need to set a priority of 1-4 , so i could make it 1 priority right? Could i put automatic uplink speed instead of measure it from speed test through wifi which may not be accurate ...And also for protocol would it be udp or tcp? Idk if i could call dlink when setting it up if they would be able to help and tell me what to put or not, may try that if noone can help here

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?

I recommend reviewing this to help you set up QoS for gaming and managing other devcies:
Gaming and QoS for XBL

Gaming and QoS for PlayStation

These are examples of settings you can use. I would put the PS4 at a priority of high or 50 and set a All Other Devices rule at a priority of normal or 128.

You'll need to reserve IP addresses for all of your devices as mentioned below:
Router and Wired Configurations
Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router. Besure to log into the Admin account on the router.

• Turn off ALL QoS or Disable Traffic Shaping (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options, Advanced/QoS or Gamefuel. For the DGL-5500, review this for Streamboost information and settings: Furry's DGL-5500 Review
• Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual or under Setup/PARENTAL CONTROL/Set to>None: Static IP or Obtain Automatically From ISP.
• Enable Use Unicasting (compatibility for some ISP DHCP Servers) under Setup/Internet/Manual.
• Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking. Link>Finding Faster DNS Addresses using Name Bench and input new DNS addresses under Setup/Internet/Manual.
• Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
• Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
• If IPv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only or Disable IPv6 options under Setup/IPv6.
• Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall. Enable or Disable SPI to test.
• Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking. Disable uPnP for testing Port Forwarding rules. Enable IPv6 Multi-cast Streaming for routers that have a Media Server option. Disable IPv6 Multi-cast Streaming if IPv6 or Media Server is not being used.
• Turn off WISH, and WPS under Advanced.
• WAN Port Speed set to Auto or specific speed? Some newer ISP modems support 1000Mb so manually setting to Gb speeds can be supported by the router. Advanced/Advanced Networking/WAN Port Speed
• Set current Time Zone, Date and Time. Use an NTP Server feature. Tools/Time.

Im in ontario canada, we have tek savvy Internet and use cable Internet . Found this manual online for the router http://www.manualslib.com/manual/548452/D-Link-Dir-810l.html?page=81#manual           http://www.manualslib.com/manual/548452/D-Link-Dir-810l.html?page=82#manual                     so i guess id set a name, and do the number priority and says up to 1-4 for a priority right, so id put 1? Instead of doing the percentage one number would be easier ...  And for protocol is it udp? And for uplink downlink speed can you set it to automatic ? because id have to do speed test on wifi idk how accurate that is. And i have no idea what local ip range local port range remote ip range remote port range are? What do i do there? Isnt there a way to just put the mac address of my playstation 4 in? The playstation 4 is only thing im prioritizjing.

[FurryNutz]

What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?

Ya You'll need to use the QoS Rules to ensure that your PS4 gets high priority and set another rule for the reset of the devices and put them at a normal or lower priority so that they get some bandwidth while the PS4 gets more. Only 2 rules are needed. Use the Single game console rule with global ports for the PS4 and use the AllOtherDevices rule for the reset of the devices. Look at the pictures for examples. I use them on my router and works well.

[Andrewcox93]

The modem is a Thomson modem . Model DCM476.    Got some info that was on the router, model dir 810-L A1...  H/w ver A1    f/w ver 1.01. So when settings the rule i have to set the ps4 priority and that and ad d everything else to set rules and priority for every device on the router ? Any way you could tell me what to fill in . The manual I linked should have evenything I need to fill in I don't know what to put in . Doesn't look like much to fill in just a few  things right .

[Andrewcox93]

I wanna make sure the setting are right or it wont even work, if when i do speed tests it changes how do i know what to put for uplink n downlink speed . Protocol is eaither tcp or udp isnt it, would it be udp i put. And i have no idea what to put for local port range, local ip range, remote port range, remote ip range ? Thats pretty much only thing i have to fill in and im not sure what to put there. Id really like to get QoS working because the connection is good but not when someone is watching netflix or streaming movies online, it makes trying to play call of duty un playable, so i really wanna make sure i get settings right. I appreciate your help very much !

[FurryNutz]

Use both for TCP/UDP.

Use the Single Xbox Global rule and All Other Devices Rule examples seen here:
Gaming and QoS for XBL

Let us know if you need more help, Maybe someone can review your router settings with you using Link> teamviewer if your interested. Its safe and secure.

[FurryNutz]

Any status on this?

Maybe we can teamview and review the router settings...

[Andrewcox93]

We tried today but we kept getting kicked out it would refresh page and lose everything so were goona have to call dlink see why it does that, landlord was using her iphone so maybe thats why, we got as far as enabling QoS , putting the uplink speed to 1 mb, when i do speed tests it varys around 1-1.5 ish, but it kept saying it should be like 8 mb or something but our upload isnt that high. Then for local ip range i put ip address of my ps4 in to and from.. And put priority 1 and protocol both, but thats far as we got quit trying kept refreshing . Is that part right? Can i copy the numbers straight from the xbox example exept ip address ? What about local ip port and remote port range ? Any way you could post what i put in each box, i wanna  make sure the settings are right.

[FurryNutz]

Yes, use the port numbers 0 and 65535 for both rules.

For Remote IP address for the XBL services, you can use 65.52.0.1 and 65.55.255.254

For the ALL Other Devices rule,
Use 0 and 65535 for ports

For Remote IP address use 0.0.0.1 and 255.255.255.254

[Andrewcox93]

Ok so i can use those settings for ps 4 even though its xbl rule, so i make on rule for my ps4 with the single xbox rule and one more rule for everything else? How would i fit several ip's of all other devices on one rule

[Andrewcox93]

Would this be right for ps4 ?               Enable QoS , automatic classification , automatic uplink speed or set to 1 mb? connection type : cable           name : andrew       priority : 1     protocol :both        local ip range  :192.168.0.106- 192.168.0.106           local port range  : 0-65535          remote ip range : 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255          remote port range :  0-65535

[Andrewcox93]

And if it is fo you have to set a rule for everything else ? How do i do that for like 5 other devices

[FurryNutz]

Yes, all you need is one for the PS4 and one rule for ALL Other devices.

Put Uplink speed to 2Mb

Set the priority to 50 for the PS, when you make the rule for the other devices, use 128 as a priority for them.

Ok so i can use those settings for ps 4 even though its xbl rule, so i make on rule for my ps4 with the single xbox rule and one more rule for everything else? How would i fit several ip's of all other devices on one rule

[Andrewcox93]

Put uplink speed to 2 mb instead of 1? When I do speed test upload is always 1. Something though won't  it not work If its 2 ? So that's only.part I need to change from what I posted. When I do all other devices rule I do same numbers ? Ip range would be different from my ps4 though right . What numbers and info do I put for all other devices . Thanks for helping make sure its right . Goona do it tomorrow
