Qos - giving wired connections priority over wireless connections

I have a WRT54G with revised firmware.  I have one wireless connection and one wired connection.  I'd like to set it up so that the wired connection uses the majority of the bandwidth.  This way the resource intensive programs I use for work (CAD, GIS, etc accessing files remotely) will be guaranteed to have available more bandwith than my daughter on her laptop using IM, web cam and WOW-type game play.  I don't mind her using these programs, but I have to make my work a priority.
It seems that I can shape traffic if each were a WIRED connection and also that the single QoS option for wireless will enhance WiFi MultiMedia.  How can I assign a preference to the WIRED connection and provide a smaller but usable portion of bandwith to the wireless connection?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input, although I still am a bit lost.  I apologize if my questions appear repetitive.

What do you mean by "dedicate to that application?"  Do you mean the apps I am trying to give bandwidth priority too?  If so, how much of the 512 kbs upstream bandwidth do I enter here?  How does this affect the wireless connections?

You can provide priority to Devcie with MAC address & also the Etherent Port on four ports with different priority .....

Won't these only apply to the different ethernet ports and wired MAC addresses?  I am trying to limit bandwith to the wireless side...

Won't this provide the wireless connection with more efficient throughput?  How will this help me in limiting the bandwith allocated to the wireless connection?
Thanks for your reply.

  • Printing over wireless connection

    How would you set up a powerbook to print over a wireless connection? I set up a wireless network for my mom (she had a Dell Inspiron8600) when I passed on my PowerBook to her. Wireless internet connection is working fine. The main unit connected to the modem is the Inspiron. I can't seem to figure out what I have to do to get the PowerBook to print. If someone could walk me through the setup process I would sure appreciate it! The printer hooked up to the Inspiron is an HP Deskjet 5470. It is not being recognized by the PowerBook.

    Make sure you have the latest drivers on your Mac and make sure the printer is shard on your pc. Go to system preferences on your mac click on "printer/fax" click on the + sign. Then go to "more printers" then find your printer on your network.
    This technique has gotten my mac to communicate with my printer, but not actually print but maybe it will be successful for you.

  • Ethernet default over wireless connection.

    when I boot up I want my network to default to the ethernet which is connected to the Dynadock U3.0 before the wireless in the Lenovo x220 laptop. The ethernet is much faster. is there any way I can have this occur automatically - rather than me having to shut off the wireless connection? any ideas?

    Mount the TC disk manually.
    In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the following.
    AFP://TCname.local (TCname is the actual network name of the TC. I strongly recommend you use SMB names.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric)
    Find out the Network version of the TC name if you don't want to comply to the above rule. The best way is to discover it via netstat scan.
    Open network utility.
    Locate your TC on it.. since my TC is correctly named it shows up as tcgen4.local
    I then type in AFP://tcgen4.local
    Then the computer can discover the TC and it will ask for a password. The default is public
    Type in whatever you changed it to or public.
    The TC disk should now be mounted.
    If this fails.. reset the TC to factory and start over. Name it correctly.. all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric will be a lot lot easier.
    Then manually force the mounting.

  • IChat doesn't connect to AIM over wireless connection

    I'm trying to connect to AIM over an open wireless connection. What happens is iChat sits there for a few minutes saying "connecting" and then eventually tells me that it can't connect. I can still connect to the internet but it won't connect iChat won't connect to AIM.

    Hi John,
    If you have a wireless device that is separate from your modem then you need to apply the set up to that device.
    Essentially it is turning off the DHCP server.
    Setting up Static Addresses is better.
    Setting up Static Addresses and the router as a access point is best.
    One option for some modems is to be set to Bridge mode:
    All ports are open and the Public IP address is passed to the router. You then only have to worry about one set of IP addresses and will have got around the Subnet problem.

  • Haelp! cannot print over wireless connection

    I just set up a wireless network in our house, with a 2Wire 1701HG gateway (wifi plus ethernet.). I have a Brother neworkable laser printer, connected to the wireless router via an ethernet cable.
    When I have my iBook also conected by ethernet cable, I can print, no problem. But when I am connected by wireless, when I try to print it always says "AppleTalk inactive," even though when I go to the the Network Preference panel it says it is active!
    The long and the short of it is I cannot print via wireless connection. What do I need to do to remedy this situation?
    Thank you!!!!

    This snippet is from the Tiger printing help area. I had similar difficulties and it worked for me:
    Delete and recreate the printer queue
    1. Open Printer Setup Utility (10.3) or Print Center (10.2).
    2. Delete any queues for the printer model you have.
    3. Add a new queue, and choose Bonjour (formerly "Rendezvous"). It should locate and show the printer attached to the base station.
    Good luck!

  • HT6030 Mavericks IMAP connection issues over wireless

    I am having intermittent IMAP server connection issues on my Macbook pro when wirelessly connected to my home network. Other machines (both cabled devices and wireless devices) are fine. Other email accounts (Gmail and iCloud) are fine. It's just when connecting to my ISP's IMAP server. All settings in the MAIL app are correct (i have checked fifty times) and I have uninstalled / reinstalled the account several times.
    If I set up the account, all is well for a little while, then I get a "Can't connect to IMAP server, connection on port 143 has timed out" error message.
    Any thoughts / ideas?

  • File transfer EXTREMELY slow over wireless connection

    Hi there,
    I have recently been transfering some files from my TiVo to my iMac via a wireless connection. I don't know if the files are going through my router first, and then coming to my iMac or what, but the transfer rate is really slow; about 50 - 100 KBps. That's Bytes, not bits. I know that 802.11g is 54 mbps, which translates to about 7 MBps, but I'm getting about 1/70th that speed.
    I recently moved my computer to a part of my house that has better wireless reception. I have an AirPort extreme card that is 802.11g compatible, an 802.11g Linksys wireless router, and a D-Link 802.11g wireless USB adapter hooked up to my TiVo. 2 dashboard widgets that I have tell me that the connection strength to my iMac is excellent (>75%), and that the speed is full (54 mbps). My iMac discovered the TiVo with the "Bonjour" technology built into Mac OS X. It doesn't make any sense to me. Even if the files are going through the router, everything is operating at 7 MBps, so why am i getting 50-100 MBps? Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Trevor

    Here's what I did:
    I moved my computer to a place where I could connect to my wireless router through an ethernet cable. I tried to transfer files from the TiVo again using the same application, and the download speed was no faster. I tried having both Airport and Ethernet on, and it was slower. I tried just Airport, and it was no faster than before. So I found a new way to download the shows using Safari and Bonjour. I tried, and it was downloading at (according to the downloads window)... 0B/s. I thought "Great". I can't even download it at all this way. So in desparation, I moved my computer right next to the USB device that the signal is coming from, and I get the same download speeds using the application. I try with Safari, and this time it actually starts downloading faster than 0B/s. The top speed I've seen it at is what it's hovering at right now: 129 KB/s. Now here comes the interesting part:
    My internet connection (loading webpages with Safari) was lightning quick everywhere my computer was. That indicates that the issue is with the USB device on the TiVo, and not my router or mac. I looked for an ethernet pot in the back of my TiVo, but I could not find one. I found a phone jack (for connecting to the TiVo service via the phone), and my iMac has a phone jack too, but then I realized that the application I was using and Safari needed to use either the Ethernet port, or AirPort, so that wouldn't have worked. I guess that the TiVo cannot process and export the info at faster than 100-150 KBps. Oh well.

  • How can I resolve the issues connecting to my wireless connection with my Apple tv?

         Ive had my Apple tv for about a month now & I still have not even used it for what I actually got it for. It allows me to use the airplay feature with my ipad2. But when I try to use the home sharing feature it never connects with my apple ID. At first I thought that maybe I'm just typing it the wrong way, but then I used the same ID and password to purchase an app on my iphone & it works. It's not my wireless connection because multiple devices connect to it just fine, without any issues. I tried reseting it, that obviously didnt work. I really just dont know what else to do.

    you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
    if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

  • WRE54G version 3 uses all available DHCP connections causing all wireless connectivity to fail

    I couldn't find this problem via search so i've started a new thread.  Here is my problem.
    I have configured my WRE54G and everything seems to be working great, a Wireless connection that was LOW is not Excellent.
    a. I can connect to my router: 192.168.0.1 (WRT54GC firmware 1.05.7)
    b. I can connect to my range expander: 192.168.0.11 (I changed the IP, firmware 3.01.01)
    c. The Range Expander has the same SSID as my router and has the same WEP key too.
    It seems that the range expander will eventually use all of the DHCP connections that I have configured for my router to allow.
    I have the DHCP lease set to 30 minutes but when i look in the DHCP client list I see clients with 2 day leases, these are all the MAC Address of the Range Expander. Currently 5 of 7 connections are the Range Expander.  Eventually it will consume all connection and I won't be able to connect.
    On my wireless router I have MAC address filtering set up and only 4 MAC addresses are added to the "allow" list.
    Message Edited by 221385 on 12-21-2009 07:44 PM

    DHCP lease time on the router is 30 minutes.
    It appears that the clients, specifically the only wireless laptop on the network, drops the connection and when it reconnects it gets a new lease and IP address.  This happens many times until all IPs are in use.  I don't know why the lap top drops the connection when the signal strength is excellent.
    I have seen the MAC address of the Client in some cases but the majority are the WRE.
    I've linked to some pictures of the router set up, the DHCP client list, and the basic WRE setup.  There are only 3 wireless devices in my home, 1 laptop, 2 iPhones.  I guess a neighbour could be trying to connect but I do have MAC address filtering turned on so only included MAC Addresses can connect.
    I guess I could always update the firmware but I only want to do that if it will fix this issue.  I tried the live chat today but I didn't have access to my home network so there wasn't much that we could do.

  • I cant connect to my wireless connection at home

    i am trying to connect my airbook to my wireless internet at home. I am using a netcomm NB6W modem router. It has full strength on the bars in the menu bar, but when i try to open any internet pages it says i'm not connected to the internet. I have gone into the roouter settings and input the airbooks MACaddress/ Airport iD, it says it has been connected and still is connected but i am not able to load any safari or firefox pages. Everything worked fine for the last year but i have just swapped houses and internet providers, my PC that the router is connected to is connected and works fine. In network diagnostics, i've followed all the steps and still it doesnt work.
    Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me here?

    I don't know if this helps, but bluetooth (the latest update) will knock the wireless right off. Is there a bluetooth cell phone, mouse, Motorola head set or printer near by?
    Do you have an iPod touch or Nokia 770 device to test the wireless?

  • Can't connect to home wireless, connection failed.

    After browsing these forums for a few hours and others alike I can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem to mine. Which is quite simply to connect to my home wireless router.
    The problem started after returning home from a weekend away, I chose to turn my Mac off completely whilst I was away.
    Upon booting my Mac up, it did not connect to my wireless network. I checked my iPhone to see if that was connected which it was. So as a quick thought I rebooted my router which had no effect. I checked my PS3 to see if that still connected and it does, to which I booted up bootcamp which is also connecting fine which removes hardware problems from the list.
    My Wi-Fi is on, the router is broadcasting and there is no interfering channels. All it says when I try and connect is connection failed.
    I've tried many different things such as removing the network from the known wireless network list, removed the network from keychain, rebooted my Mac several times, cleared PRAM. All to no effect.
    Am I missing something painstakingly obvious?
    Thanks

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Oct 2013) running the latest Mavericks

    Please take all the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If there is a box marked Discoverable and it's checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it (not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.)
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Can't Connect to Linksys Admin over wireless connection

    I just purchased a LinkSys WRT54GX2. Setting up the wireless network with my DSL modem was a breeze. However, I have one problem. I am only able to connect to the router admin from the computer that is connected by cable. My laptop can access the admin if connected by cable. However, when I have it connected wirelessly, it can't connect. Is there a particular setting I have forgotten?

    They only recommend doing settings wired. Now, I have usually been able to do whatever I wanted wireless, but I consider that a bonus.
