Prioritising upload bandwidth

[banjo22]

Hi all,

I'm in need of uploading a large amount of data on my laptop to onedrive and the upload speed is currently terrible. What QOS settings should I be altering to ensure my Laptop has priority in this department?

On firmware  R1 2.1.3.29 and I have 35/6 speeds.

Thanks,

Use bandwidth allocation to give your laptop more upload bandwidth.

There is info on setting up bandwidth allocation here:

Would suggest the above, if no other devices are using the internet at the time then keep Anti-BB at 100% for upload while you're doing the upload to get max speeds but when other devices start using the internet again drop it back down.

Thanks, the reason I asked originally as I allocated 100% to my laptop yet other devices on the network could still surf the internet etc, I would have thought their bandwidth would have been completely restricted?

That's because you have 'share excess' enabled (default) in Bandwidth Allocation options, if you disable this then it will behave as you thought but we don't generally recommend this.
