Need some help

[gprater]

While this is not a problem with the game I thought I would find some useful advice to this annoying problem. I play on a wired connection to my Netgear N300 router. My DSL is only 3 Meg, and i usually experience about 2.5 Down and 0.5 Up on average. I have 2 other computers that connect to router wirelessly. When I am using the wired computer to play games or surf. I have regular interruptions of connection ONLY when someone is using the wireless. But only in some situations. For example:

I am playing EQ (wired) while my daughter is watching Youtube (wireless) I get frequent (about every 45-60 sec) interruptions of connection. However if she is playing one of her games like Wizards 101 this loss of connection never happens.

If she or my wife use their Iphone to DL apps or watch youtube I get a loss of connection. I never get booted i just "lag out" for 7-10 seconds.


I have searched this on the net and found many other people having same issue. There are some folks saying that is is a Quality of Service(QoS) problem while others say that you cant do anything about it.

Is there anyway on the router to limit bandwidth going to the wireless part? I have taken a look at all the menus in the router setup but all that I learned in my CIsco classes long ago is mostly forgotten or not of use.


thanks in advance
