I have 2 devices attached via Ethernet to my netgear router a Desktop PC and a Satellite box, but I wanted to allocate more bandwidth and internet speed to the Satellite box.

Will QoS work here?

I only ask since my netgear router does not support QoS so I would have to buy a better router with QoS support. My issue is when surfing on the desktop pc if I do something heavy or stream a video during surfing, it can cause a sudden drop in performance to the satellite box.

So I am just wondering if QoS can give more priority to Satellite box 1st rather then the desktop pc... I don't mind if surfing is slightly slower on the desktop pc either. Is that even possible ?

I have never used QoS but ideally I was thinking if I can make ethernet port 1 more priority that may give my Satellite box the bandwidth 1st so that way it gets internet streams smoother and glitch free.

But without ever trying QoS I am not sure how it works in reality...
