QoS settings on one router affecting another behind it
QoS settings on one router affecting another behind it
Hello! Your issue involves managing network traffic between devices. You're considering adding another router to create a separate subnet and using Quality of Service (QoS) there. This approach can help prioritize traffic, but it depends on your ISP's capabilities and the specific setup. It’s not a built-in feature for all modem-router combinations, so you’ll need to verify compatibility with your provider.
Without specific details about your ISP device, it's hard to give a clear answer. You probably won't be able to proceed unless you switch the gateway to bridge or passthrough mode, which disables router features. Be aware that you might lose access to digital TV. It's best to consult your ISP before trying this.
The device model is "ch7465lg-tn." The FAQ mentions setting up a separate subnet for maintaining router functions, such as QoS. I expect they handle digital TV compatibility. I’ll reach out regarding this issue. It’s possible the TV box needs to connect to their router to work properly, which might affect my plans.
Videos are usually saved in small pieces, about 5 to 10 seconds at a time. This means you should aim to use your full bandwidth only 10% of the time. If you're uncertain, perform a bufferbloat test to verify.
