Any way to split internet connection between 2 pc's that won't affect eachothers ping

[akmaggot666]

Hello, I am a total newb.

My title is maybe a fail and the question may be triggering and stupid, but try to understand me and correct me if u will. Also my English is not that good either.

I have a rounter and share it with my roommate and we both share the monthly bill, he's quiet annoying watching videos all the time over the internet and it affects my ping while I am gaming online.

Is there a way that I can "split" the connection between his and my PC where his downloading would not affect my ping? (we have ADSL tcom in Croatia, 1,2MB/s max DL)
I might be able to get a new router if that would need to make this happen.

Answers are appreciated, especially detailed ones, thanks.

A sufficiently high end router will include some QoS (Quality of Service) features. I have an ASUS RT-AC66U which does.

When we had 1.5Mbps DSL, if my housemate was watching Netflix my ping for WoW would go up to about 300ms and I'd drop connections. With QoS enabled, my ping was higher, but better (125-150ms and reliable) which was fine for me.

The service is configurable, but I just enabled it with default settings and it was fine.

I don't know which other ASUS routers have QoS features, but it should be fairly easy to check. I think the ASUS router software is based on OpenWRT or something, so that might be a solution too.

Technically, there is no way to have unaffected ping if someone else downloads by any way of splitting the internet?

With a connection as slow as 1.2MB/s it's nearly impossible to fully correct the issue. With some implementations of QoS you could limit the max download per device such that you split the speed equally, but it will still likely have high ping as the connection would still be saturated. If your roommate is torrenting instead of direct streaming, then scheduling torrenting during off hours would be the best solution.

Is 1,2MB = 12Mbps?

If it's only 1.2Mbps, I don't think router with QoS can help much.

ok thx, well can't, he's a weirdo watching SJW youtube videos whole day, no fix for that

I wrote 1,2MB/s... if u don't know how much 1 B is in bits.. I don't think u can help me

B means bytes, equals 8 bits.

We use period "." , not comma ",". That's why I ask. I don't know how European use units.

literally makes no difference, getting 1,2MB/s as 1,2mbps or 12mbps is just.. whatever not gona argue, even google can give u the right answer

It's on your own, baby, if that's your attitude.

I couldn't care less when someone gives the answer a post later, yet he multiplied Bytes with 10 instead in previous post. Then cries how I don't use the standard "." while "," is ok in the meaning of understanding it. You're trolling but being unaware, and it's sad.

Hahaha, ethernet speed always represented in Mbps not MBps. You don't even know how to differentiate B from b. If you write B, it's misleading other people. End of story. Bye.

akmaggot666, what router do you have, and do you have admin access to the router?

Edit: Also, if possible, what modem?

 

[JackMDS]

1.2MB/sec. will translate to about 10 Mb/sec.

AFAIK, ADSL is Not capable of such Speed.

 

[akmaggot666]

akmaggot666, what router do you have, and do you have admin access to the router?

router given by TCOM, yes I do have admin access, ZTE ZXDSL 931 VII

 

[akmaggot666]

AFAIK, ADSL is Not capable of such Speed.

I just checked the TCOM account, says ADSL internet, I have the 5Mb/s-10Mb/s option (lowest available but the highest I can get in this area)
with speedtest by Ookla, to nearest location of another country
DL 10.43 Mbps
Upload 0.71 Mbps

The simple difference between DSL and ADSL is that DSL is the generic term for Digital Subscriber Line services, and ADSL, or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is just one of its types. There are other types of DSL, such as SDSL and VDSL.
pulled from some article, I just remember ADSL as difference having low upload

Ah. I also assumed "1,2MBps" was a mistake and you have 1,2Mbps instead.

If you have 10Mbps downloads, a little QoS (as I outlined in my first post) should be more than adequate to your needs. I'm actually a little surprised you're having trouble in the first place, although if somebody is doing torrents or streaming video out, that could be maxing out your upstream connection.

 

[JackMDS]

ADSL max is about 8Mb/sec.

ADSL2+ is capable up to 24Mb/sec.

Also notice the decline of any kind of DSL with the distance from the DSLAM*.

*DSLAM is the point where the ISP injects the DSL into your Telephone line.

The decline of the Mbs per Distance can be even worse if the Copper lines are old and or, of low quality.

Option 1. Get your own DSL account

Option 2. Get a new roommate.

According to the modem manufacturer, the modem is capable of 100Mbps up and 50Mbps down (VDSL2).

The ZXDSL 931VII VDSL2 is a very high-performance router with the built-in VDSL2 modem, and can support VDSL2 link downstream up to 100Mbps and upstream up to 50Mbps.

As dave_the_nerd mentioned, QoS should help. Now we just need to see if the modem/router combo has QoS capabilities. If it doesn't, then it does support bridge mode, so you can add your own router with QoS capabilities.

ty for response

how is 1,2MBps a mistake?, 1,2MBps is 9,6Mbps, 10,43Mbps monitored, my brother lives in same city just closer to the center where they have better connection, he has the same provider, same router and same type of connection, but he has 5MB/s download, rougly 5 times more, paying the same price as I do :/ (yes, 40Mbps) tcom offers in croatia up to 50Mbps, and anything over only in limiter areas in bigger cities with fiber.

Spoiler

to detail my problem..
example, I play BF4 online, and he's watching youtube, the random download is spaceshuttling my ping from standard 40-45ms up to 350ms, making it so bad that it's not just the delay, it makes me teleport from place to place, especially at flying helicopters as example, you aim at something, and all of a sudden u teleport backwards/forwards, it throws u all around the place.

So getting a better router with some options could help?

It wasn't your mistake. People make capitalization mistakes all the time, but it's not typical to measure bandwidth in Bytes, so my brain automatically substituted the right-to-me (but wrong) unit (bits) instead.

Since I had a 1.5Mbps DSL connection until a couple years ago, that didn't seem strange.

I worked tech support for years. People make unit size and scale mistakes all the time, but rarely get the numbers wrong, because those are on the tag or what the salesperson told you when they sold you the computer. So you have a computer with "4k" of RAM? It's probably really 4GB. "1 gig" hard drive? 1TB. "7 CPUs?" Probably an i7. (I have had people tell me all three of those things.) Somebody says to me that have a 1.2[some unit] internet connection, I'm going to assume standard units (Mbps) and proceed accordingly until I can verify. I'll admit I'm guessing, and I have guessed wrong, but I usually guess right.

Yes, I believe it would. You don't _really_ know until you try, but I'd say it's definitely worth a try.

I don't see where I could change bandwidth of certain ip adresses

I wouldn't change those settings. Look under Application > QoS.

that field and couple of others are not there , ye i guess I need other router, but it's 40€ gamble if it will help
