2 different devices need priority for one

I use a buffalo router with DD-WRT and I have a problem when playing games on one computer and a roku device is streaming.

do I just need to go to qos and set the pc higher than the roku?
Do I have to set the game higher if that is possible or what do I need to do to get the game to get whatever it needs as #1.
 
You can give each device a DHCP reservation and then do some QoS work based on the internal IP. However since you are dealing with inbound UDP traffic, QoS on the receiving end is not going to have a whole lot of an effect. You can only QoS outbound traffic effectively.
 
thank you I did not know that.

my problem is everything is fine playing a game
someone decided to watch a netflix movie, no problem.
But if its a Netflix movie in HD I get game lag and some stuttering.
I am on the 6mb at&t dsl
 
What you can try to do with netflix is rate limit it and drop UDP packets that exceed that limit. Netflix is smart enough to change the screen res and data rate to give you the best image at that cap. This is called traffic shaping or limiting in some cases. I have no idea is Tomato does that though. Also Netflix "exists" all over the place since they use the Amazon cloud to spin up and down streaming servers based on load to the rules might get pretty hairy.
