Can anyone offer some useful advice on my situation.
I currently live in an area where the internet bandwidth i have is inferior to most , and cannot simple pay my way out of this. I have an average speed of 5megs . Connected to this Router (D-Link DSL-3780) are several devices , primarily A PC on a RJ45 connection , 1 PC on NEtwrork over Power adaptor , 1 Laptop on wireless , 1 PS4 , and a couple of phones intermitantly . Now the main issue is my lil girl will be on the Wired PC on netflix , My sons tying to game on hes PC , and either the ps4 or the laptop or sometimes both are also gaming , skyping , you tubeing etc . Usually the video streams kill the ping on gamers.
So my mission is to balance the bandwidth allocation between these somehow , ive read a little on my routers Qos , but its a little vague and complex . Also have read a little on OpenDNS . But i would like if anyone else has these issues for you to offer me your ideas and or workarounds to keep a balanced ( keep my kids from killing each other) internet .
