QOS and Adding Exceptions


Recommended Posts

What settings do I need to add so that I get full Wifi speeds on my phone's wifi while I have QOS enabled? I have the setting on "Auto" and when I turn it off and do a speedtest on my phone I get my full internet speed, when I have it set to "Auto" I get 1/3 of the speed. The crazy thing is I have no games running so auto seems more like always on. I tried to add my phone as a "Traffic Prioritization" under "Youtube" but I dont think this was correct as I still get the limited wifi speeds. Any tips?

Can you provide a screenshot of your full QoS page please?

What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to and how have you set that to ensure all traffic flows to the XR? E.g. XR in its DMZ, modem/bridge mode

Are ALL devices connected to the XR?

Hello,

Screenshots attached. The model of the modem is the Netgear CM1000v2, the router is the Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR1000 Wifi 6 Gaming Router. I havent messed with the DMZ Bridge Mode whatsoever so I want to say default settings on those. All devices are connected to the XR.

Did you have any games running when you took this screenshot?

I did not. I have my PC which is hooked up via ethernet, switched to "Console" on this screenshot but no games were open and or running.

Okay so you're getting lower speeds because your traffic prioritization rule is being triggered - if you're not gaming then it's something else on the device using a port between 1024 - 65535 a torrent for example - if you figure out what that is and stop it the rule will stop triggering and you'll get normal speeds

Is it easier to just turn off QOS when im not gaming? I checked my running apps and it was just regular things like iCUE Software, Nvidia requesting graphic updates, and my NZXT CAM. I can see these being seen as gaming related but no open games were running and I have these running in the background at all times. Wish I could just make my phone exempt from the QOS limitations but I will settle with turning it off if no other solution.

You could do that if you wanted or instead of choosing Games Console for the PC you select the specific service/application so it applies to that or by selecting the specific ports the game uses
