QoS and WMM settings slow internet down when enabled

Ok, so I recently upgraded to a Linksys E3200. I am trying to get the QoS to work properly. I know that it is supposed to prioritize network traffic, so that if I have busy traffic but I am playing an online game, it should keep my gaming from stuttering while slowing other traffic down. It's a great idea in theory.
The problem is that every time I enable QoS everything slows down dramatically. I had a 200MB download that was going to take 5hrs with QoS enabled, that took 10min with QoS disabled. And with QoS enabled I can't even watch a youtube video without it pausing to buffer every 10 seconds. And that was the only PC/device using the network at the time. Again turning off the QoS WMM option solved  the problem. I have noticed this problem with multiple routers and brands and usually just disable QoS as soon as I set up a router, however I heard that I won't get the full benefit of 300Mbps without QoS enabled. Does anyone know if that is true?
I don't have any special Voice over IP needs, or video streaming etc. and I rarely am using multiple network devices at the same time. Is there really any reason I should enable QoS? 
Also I never really play with the settings for QoS, I just figure that since it comes enabled by default it should work for the average consumer. Does anyone know if changing the settings will help?
Thanks for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So leave it off since it's not working for you.  FWIW I have never found it to be of any benefit.  The router works fine without it.

  • TS3048 Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled.

    Is there a way to "calibrate" the magic mouse? Batteries are good. I have rearranged settings for mouse, air-cleaned, tried different surfaces, however, it seems to be misinterpreting finger movements and randomly trying to open launchpad when enabled-flashing between the app I am in and launchpad. When right-click is enabled I have to go to the extreme upper left of mousepad to click or it is interpreted as right-click. Won't consistently "scroll". Suggestions?

  • Slower internet connection when connection wireless network

    Currently using a Linksys WRT54GL wireless broadband (firmware v4.30.5) router in conjunction with a Thomson Speedtouch 546i ADSL router (ISP provided).
    My problem is that when I connect to the internet over the wireless network I experience a much slower internet connection in comparison with when I use a tp-cable.
    Tested with various online "speed-tests" (I know they are not to be trusted, but they do give a basis for comparison):
    Over wireless network : ca.6000kbits/sec.
    Direct cable from pc to router (tested on both routers):12-13000kbits/sec.
    Hope anyone has any idea what the problem may be, and any help is greatly appreciated.

    Change the beacon to 50 ....and reduce the RTS and the fragmentation by 40 each.....these options are found under the advanced wireless settings...
    Also make sure that u have the latest drivers installed for the Wireless NIC.

  • Slow internet speed when using AirPort

    Hi
    I guess this may have been discussed before, but I could really do with some clear advice on the subject. I own a 2007 Mac Pro with an AirPort wi-fi card fitted by Apple as an option when I bought the machine. However, for some time now, I have experienced problems with my wi-fi connection when on the net.
    Firstly, there's the signal. When I switch the computer on first and then access the internet, all four bars on the AirPort icon on my desktop are in black. However, after a while this starts to drop to three or two - sometimes even just one. The connection speed to the net decreases as the bars drop. When all four bars are filled in black, my connection speed is still not very good. My Mac Pro is not really far from my AirPort Extreme - in fact I have tried my old Windows XP based laptop in the same room and it appears to be fine provide better access speeds (even though it's an older machine)!
    Secondly, my Mac Pro doesn't seem to like my 8 digit WPA-PSK security key on my modem (accessed through the AirPort Extreme base station). When I disconnect and try to re-connect to my network (as sometimes this helps my connection speed when it's low) the Mac asks me to punch in my key. I do this and it never seems to recognise it. Tried changing the password key through my modem's settings via an ethernet cable, yet still - when asked to type in the key when trying to access wirelessly - it is not recognised.
    Can anyone offer any advice?? I have a Netgear modem/router with an AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station. I purchased my Mac Pro June 2007 from Apple.
    Thanks

  • Why is my laptop slowing right down when itunes is installed?

    i have a windows 7 laptop that i have installed itunes on and it has slowed my laptop right down. the cpu usage is going up to 100% and it is taking at least 5 minutes to do any basic actions such as opening an application (ms Word etc). i have 2gb of ram and decent intel with it. i cannot understand why when i have loads of memory left and the programme isnt actually open. and when i do manage to get it open, it wont let me access the itunes store. is there a way of turning itunes off for when im not using it like you do on the ipod for example, and turning it back on when i need it again?
    And i cant understand why it wont let me access the itunes store. the firewall is not blocking it and i have a decent wifi connection although the dagnostics on it says i dont have a sercure wifi connection. any ideas for this?

  • QoS and DSCP settings for Video Streaming

    So I've got this beautiful topology at home that consists of three WAP 121 and a RV320 as the default gateway.
    How should I tweak their QoS and DSCP parameters to optimize Video Streaming applications like YouTube, Netflix and such?
    Thanks community!

    Open the set up page of the router by typing the IP address of 192.168.1.1 or open Cisco connection go to router settings
    Then go to advanced settings and  then click copy password and hit OK ..once you on the router page
    Go to wireless and click manual after that create network name (SSID) Then set the wireless security as WPA2 personal
    Which would give you stabilize connectivity then upgrade the latest firmware on  the router and reduced the MTU to 1462..
    Unplug the power from  the modem and  the router
    Wait for 1 minute and plug them back wait for 1 minute and then check the speed .

  • Why does my internet slow WAY down when I have camera wirelessly connected

    This is a great camera for my purpose, but for some reason it is slowing my internet download to crawling speed when I have it connected wirelessly. Btw don't know if having it done wired does any good.
    It used to work fine (without slowing down my internet) until I added a second wvc210 camera, so I removed the second camera and its still sloooow.  If I have it disabled (unplugged) then my internet is fine.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks for any advice.

  • Aperture slowed computer down when importing large library

    Hi, I recently imported 47,000 photo's into Aperture 2 from Iphoto. The entire process took several hours but when it was importing, my computer slowed down to a crawl. My browser took a while to open, Iphoto was slow to open and just about any program took much longer to load. Any task took much longer. I kept seeing the spinning ball when using Aperture. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be concerned? Any info is greatly appreciated

    Not at all. Aperture's just using all the computer's resources as importing 47,000 photos is a very processor intensive job. Once it's done, all should be back to normal.
    If it's still running slow after they've all been imported and all the thumbnails/previews have been made, then that's a bit odd.
