So let me explain this a little further... Theres 3 other people on my wifi, they stream. I have 3mbps so that doesn't work out to well for me who games. My ping constantly spikes by 30's 50's 100's... Lets say I im on a server where my pings 100, it will spike randomly to 150, 200 ect, if I turn off the wireless its constant so I know its not me. Is there a tool to where I can like... Lock the network usage or something? I don't know how to explain it but I really would like stable ping without turning off the wireless. Any ideas?
Thanks for reading
p.s I have a C1000A Modem

You can do two t things - either employ QoS and prioritize network traffic from your computer or buy a reasonably cheap router that supports OpernWRT and more importantly Gargoyle that is based on OpenWRT and use it to manage traffic.
See QoS screenshots here to see what could be done with Gargoyle. -

Oh man - great the unfathomable CISCO QoS rules
Check two - one EF (101110) - this may be an overkill though, the second one is AF11 (001010).
The first one is priority "critical" the second one is "high priority" and probability of the packet being dropped is low. -
Herm alright I tried both of those, neither worked very well, still have those ping spikes when people send pics and stream lol, any other ideas
I really hate having this happen lol
edit: or something that limits the wifi bandwitch to a certain ammount?Last edited: Aug 31, 2015 -
Come to think of it, it probably couldn't have worked. The rule was supposed to prioritize packets based on DSCP tag which would have worked fine except your packets don't have the tag...
It would be much easier to prioritize traffic from your local IP - you can choose "set the IP tag" and then "define IP addresses" and then "Select source IP information" and type in your local IP. The other end should be considered as "any address" but I don't know what does your modem accept in that field - if you should leave it blank or something else. You'll have to test it.
