Question:
How to prioritize internet connections in my house using QoS?
2013-03-07 11:17:20 UTC
Ok so i want to prioritize my internet connection and in a previous question i was told to go on QoS. Im on the Huawei Echolife system. I sign and and click on the QoS tab and there is loads of settings that make no sense to me. How will i make it so my laptop is the main priority on my internet connection as there loads of things connected on my connection. Once i click on QoS theres 3 tabs with many option, tab 1 just says QoS whcih has the option to enable the option to type a bandwith number in kbps and a drop down option that says queue type. Tab 2 says QoS queue and its got queue numbers 1 too 4 1 being highest priority 2 being low priority and it has a enabled box next to the 1 2 3 4 and there all ticked so enabled. Tab 3 just says Qos Policer which has a table like tab 2 which says policer 1 2 3 and 4 then things saying CIR PIR CBS and MBS and you have the option to type a number by each of them and the option to enable them which their all enabled:) Please someone explain step by step how to prioritize my laptop, thanks!

From a later posting you made (now closed), you said you are using a HG521.



See the first two links below for best guesses at your router's interface. Your router has a very configurable QoS policy. Try the Help buttons at the right of each tab for any additional clues. Unfortunately, the interface appears to use the standard industry terms found in enterprise routers supporting QoS. This means you need an industry knowledge of QoS.



Before you start, backup (printed or electronic) your current router settings and practice a hardware reset of your router to factory default and restoring or rebuilding the settings. In the worst case that your QoS work appears to make your router perform poorly or be unusable, it may be easier to reset the router to defaults and restore your original settings.



You have two parts to deal with, and they are not easy nor intuitive -- modifying classifications to match your source machines and place the traffic into a queue, and assigning bandwidth to each queue. I added two video links below. The first covers QoS in general, and the second describes QoS on Cisco enterprise routers and helps explain some of the acronyms in your Huawei interface, and why the number of queues may not be the same on all devices.



For your basic requirement, go to Advanced -->QOS -->QOS, and select the Classification tab. create a classification rule that matches the MAC address of your computer (or IP address if your PC has a fixed IP address). In the Operation portion, set DSCP of 63 and assign to Queue 1; I believe this will put the packets in queue 1 of your Priority Queue. Attempt to create a second classification rule to match everything else: try leaving everything blank, and in the operation portion assign to Queue 4. I believe this will put everything else in queue 4 of one of the classified queues, which should be below your priority queue.



Back in Advanced-->QOS-->QOS, select the QoS tab, then in the first QoS sub-tab, allocate approximately 70% of your upstream bandwidth to your Priority Queue, and 20% of whatever other queue(s) are listed there (I don't know what other queues you have listed in that first sub-tab). From various searches and links on your previous iteration of this question, you should start by allocating bandwidth a bit less than your usual upstream bandwidth, then adjust upward until odd things start happening with your highest-priority queue. I found a few links that described how the QoS features on some home routers throttled connections significantly more than the actual available bandwidth, requiring users to experiment with levels above the actual upstream bandwidth to get optimal results.



I believe you can ignore the policer sections for now. The policers enforce minimum and maximum traffic levels for classified traffic



Keep track of your work, because I could not find any documents showing how to configure QoS on a Huawei EchoLife router.

source ip: important computers ip masknet: "circulate away this sparkling" port: "circulate away this sparkling" dest ip: the pc you want to cut back masknet: "circulate away this sparkling" port: "circulate away this sparkling" protocol: your p.c.. here actual port : "now you ought to appear at your router and discover out which quantity the pc is plugged into and decide the quantity he or she is hooked as much as" the final 4 is something you ought to clutter with to make it on your likings i wish this permits
