Hey Thanks all for the advise, very helpful. Last question really, when setup correctly this should reduce the impact on gaming which is great, not to worried about no impact reduced down to a manageable level is great. Will this affect the people trying to watch netflix by limiting the bandwidth and reducing quality or causing buffering, or will the features on the router re-order the traffic so that more gaming oriented packets aren't queued behind netflix and other downloads? Just trying to get an idea of how this works.

vdsl modem is built In to router but would probably use bt supplied smarthub in modem mode, connect to netduma and then use Netgear as an AP.

Hi Trying to work out if this is going to help me. My internet connection is around 15Mbps down and 4Mbps up so pretty poor and unfortunately not going to improve any time soon. Ping in games usually sits around the 30-50 mark depending on what game im playing (usually either dota, smite and now some pubg). Problem is when somebody else wants to watch netflix on a smart tv ping generally fluctuates anywhere between about 120 and 220 so is not only alot higher but wont sit at any kind of stable number. The simple QOS functions on my netgear nighthawk router have not helped to fix this in any way, so my question is with the QOS functions on this router, hyper traffic and anti flood functions, will this help reduce the effect on games that somebody watching netflix will have. Im not expecting it to magically make it so that there is no effect at all but is this going to help the situation. Any info would be great thanks
