Setting Quality of Service (QoS) for Netgear 6300

Rather than go totally sideways in the NAGT thread, I started this one to help P. Sweeny.

This is taken right from the Netgear 6300 User Guide

You will find these instructions under Section 4. genie Advance Home and then Quality of Server (QoS) Setup.

QoS for a Router LAN Port

To create a QoS policy for a device connected to one of the router’s LAN ports:

• Select Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup to display the QoS Setup screen. Select the Turn Internet Access QoS On check box.
  
• Click the Setup QoS Rule button.
  
• Click the Add Priority Rule button.
  
• From the Priority Category list, select Ethernet LAN Port
  
• From the LAN port list, select the LAN port.
  
• From the Priority list, select the priority for Internet access for this port’s traffic relative to other applications. The options are Low, Normal, High, and Highest.
  
• Click Apply to save this rule to the QoS Policy list and return to the QoS Setup screen.
  
• In the QoS Setup screen, click Apply.

This will probably be easiest to do rather then setting up a rule for gaming services etc as we want to target your machine specifically. We could also do it via MAC address but again, through the LAN port is just easiest.

You will need to know what LAN port on the router your machine is plugged into and set it up according to the instructions above and make sure you set your priority to highest.

Then if you wanted to be REALLY evil you *could* set all the other ports to Low priority.

This is just the starting point and others may have better suggestions.

Cheers!
