You could choose to set rules either for a specific service name, MAC address, IP Netmask, or Ethernet port. Step 3: Choose how you prioritize bandwidth. So if you subscribed for a 1Mbps plan, you should only enter 800 Kbps as your Downlink speed, as a contingency in case your ISP couldn’t serve their promised bandwidth speed for a certain period of time. Why? because not all the time, your ISP serves you their advertised bandwidth plans. Besides, in my experience HBT seems to perform better.įor Uplink and Downlink, you should only enter 80% of your subscribed plan. But for the purpose of demonstration, I will HBT with this guide. From the dropdown menu, you’ll also see HFSC. On the page, click Enable checkbox for Start QoS field. Step 2: Navigate to the QoS settings page and enable the service.įrom the main menu click on NAT/QoS menu, then QoS just beside DMZ menu. The default IP address to reach your Network Router is 192.168.1.1. Step 1: Login to your DD-WRT flashed router as admin. You could set a rule to target a specific IP address, Netmask, Service, MAC address or by Ethernet port. You could actually implement QoS by targeting several aspects of your home network. Here are the steps to configure your network router’s Quality of Service. Setting a Quality of Service rule for this would mean all devices, hosts or nodes connected to a specific Ethernet port shall be affected by the QoS rule. Setting a QoS rule to target this would mean a host or node specific rule. This is a unique identifier issued to your network controller like Network Interface card or WiFi adapter. So if your set QoS rules for Netmask with 24-bit, you are targeting a possible 254 hosts. So if you set your netmask to 24-bit, ie 192.168.1.0/24, this would mean that your netmask covers IP addresses from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.254.
Your netmask setting is your IP address range. For example VoIP, Skype, or a name of a Game like Dota 2. Set priority rules based on service or application name. So if you want to configure a Quality of Service (QoS) rules on your DD-WRT network router, you could accomplish that by either bandwidth prioritization or traffic shaping.Īnd that’s what we’re going to do with this guide, using your DD-WRT flashed network/WiFi routers.īefore you start of with this guide, you should know first that you could actually set a QoS rule to target several aspects of your home network. You most probably searching for these terms when searching for guides to either limit the speed of your shared WiFi, throttle down the speed of downloads, or you need to prioritize on your gaming bandwidth.īandwidth prioritization, traffic shaping, speed limiter, all falls under the Quality of Service.
