Internet router unable to prioritize devices

4.5

The feature to give specific devices more bandwidth is not working.

Symptoms
  • Gaming PC still lags
  • Work laptop is slow
  • Priority list fails to save
Possible Causes
  • IP address changed
  • QoS disabled
  • Firmware bug

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Set Static IP

Ensure the device always has the same IP before prioritizing it.

2

Enable QoS Global Switch

Ensure the main QoS feature is actually turned on.

3

Check Priority Level

Ensure the device is set to "Highest" or "High".

When to See a Technician

Priority only matters when the network is congested. If no one else is using it, priority does nothing.
