WRT54GL & TOMATO 1.28

Hi there,

I got 1 pc & 3 laptops connecting via WI-FI to the router and I would like to give preference (more bandwith) to one computer which I use to play COH. How can I do that?

The reason is when one of the other computers use youtube, skype etc the game start to lag or lose connection.

I am new to tomato firmware but i notice it assignes statics IP to the devices connected so i have removed my pc's static IP config and use the tomato one for port forwarding, is this right?

BTW sometimes the browser (firefox usually) takes ages to load, anything i need to tune on the pc or the router?

Thanks !!!

QOS?

You can assign different levels of bandwidth for each level and assign each level to a computer, then it will try and level it all out depending on what you've set.

Let say:

Highest: Gets 80-100% of the bandwidth
Medium: Gets 20-80% of the bandwidth.

So when things start slowing down the medium person will get limited and you will be fine
