I'm looking to traffic shape. I need my PC do be prioritised over all the others. My internet in going through an Untangle firewall to an Asus N55U router.
 
Enable QOS on the N55U and set your MAC address as the highest priority for all traffic? That might be the easiest way.
 
I'm not sure the Asus will even see the MAC of the PC if it's the other side of the Untangle firewall.

Untangle has some QoS functionality built in - see here
 
Unfortunately that isnt free, the paid Bandwidth Control does QoS, the free one:

As the note warns, QoS Custom Roles only match on bypassed traffic - they will do nothing if the traffic is not bypassed. If you want to prioritize packets going through the rack, use Bandwidth Control.
 
pfSense has excellent traffic shaping tools built in - any chance you might like to try that instead of Untangle? :)
