I've always had issues with my internet, I mainly play games and almost everyday I will get timed out atleast 5 times. So I'm wondering if there is and way to prioritize my internet to my pc? I live with 3 other people and It's come to the point that when anyone turns on anything on their phones for a bit while using wifi I will start lagging like crazy. I've heard people using Qos but I can't find that setting anywhere for the life of me. My router is a sagemcom F@st 5360 t

How much money do you charge your internet company? How many friends and family members use this one line at a time? Does your computer need special wires connected to it, or does it just connect wirelessly? Why should my own machine get better speed than everyone else?

I think my internet speed is 50 megabytes every second. There are four people on this connection right now. It uses both a hard wired line and Wi-Fi, but I get the best spot because I work from home and do school stuff there too. Plus, I pay for this service, so that makes me get priority. The other three people who live here don't work from home or use their own computers much, so it is fair to give me my share.

It's a mix of wired and wireless connections, so you need both a PC and a router. If you connect everything via Wi-Fi everywhere, then the whole setup counts as "wifi". But this often causes trouble for everyone involved.

So my internet comes from my ISP in two ways, half wired and the rest goes wirelessly. My internet at home is just a router and a wifi modem. I don't really know another way to explain it because I am pretty dumb about internet stuff.

Do you have just one wire connecting your computer to the modem/router box?

It goes from my router all the way to my computer, even though I'm in another room because I need two separate connections.

Here is a simple line diagram showing how home networks usually connect things together, where arrows mean Ethernet cables go. The internet company gives you options like Coax, DSL, or Fiber, which all end up at a Port on the Modem. Then the Modem connects to a Router through its WAN port. From there, you can reach wired devices and wireless ones using LAN ports. Sometimes the modem and router are put together in one box. There might also be other things added, like switches, extra routers, or Access Points. Do you have any patch panels or wall outlets? If you need to edit or fix my line diagram to match your network's physical connections, I'd love to see it. Please include the make and model of each device so I understand better. You can find these labels on the back or bottom of boxes. If you can't read them yourself, take a picture and post it here via imgur (www.imgur.com). As I said before, knowing this is really important!
