I can't see any QoS settings there so not sure how you want to prioritise your pc ???

yes that's why i posted here if there is any way around

As per @mrk26 I can't see any QOS settings available (which is not uncommon on consumer grade kit). The only thing you appear to have is bandwidth control to limit how much of the available bandwidth certain IP ranges can grab. That is rather a blunt instrument as it will limit them even if there is spare bandwidth available.

Great firmware available.
I'm not sure your reasons for prioritising your PC above all others, but properly configured SQM will have everyone on the network happy, with no lag spikes because a fellow user starts watching netflix.

yeah that's why i haven't configured it so far

yes openwrt thank you. Is my modem compatible with it?

I have not tried your specific hardware, but from the table in the page linked, the Archer C7 AC1750 v1 is supported but without 5ghz wifi... guess that might be a deal breaker, but its up to you to decide.

Hello Neil, there is a way to bypass the not existing QOS feature in the router... so the idea is to specify certain IP addresses for other devices connected to the router by MAC address (except your gaming pc) then putting a limit to the "other devices IPs" for download/upload speeds like 100% (of download/upload speed) for your PC and if other devices are connected your PC would get 75% and 25% for other devices (75% and 25% are just as ex.) this would grant your PC either 100% or 75% so other devices can not eat the speed to the limit where gaming is not operational.

ok thanks I installed openwrt but and now i am trying to config it. Can you or anyone else guide me to config it properly. I am also using iptv on please help me config it

It depends how IPTV is being delivered, was it working on the original firmware?
In my opinion, the best place to start for QoS is https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm as that will reduce buffer bloat (increase in latency when your connection is maxed out). You can then work on the priorities once this is working.
The Archer C7 is a little under-powered, but I only had a problem with that trying to get a good speed out of 5Ghz WiFi, which you already lost anyway due to the v1 5Ghz chip not being supported, so it shouldn't be an issue.

can you please tell me to how to config SQM and how to use IPTV on it?

yes IPTV was working with original tplink firmware without any issue i just plugged Ethernet cable for smart tv box and it was working
-
in SQM settings do i need to put download speeds with iptv 20427kbps or without smart tv? it was 177331kbps
-
I'm guessing here but I'd think with, as it sounds like its just standard streaming rather than multicast, as the latter usually only works with the ISPs provided router and a specific LAN port.

ok thanks. What i need to add so i can check modem stats too from wan. right now i am dialing pppoe from router with openwrt and i cant access my modem from it.
-
can someone please tell me how to config my IPTV on my modem running openwrt? Someone please help me do it. I am here noob.
Please help implement these commands mentioned in this URL. I dont know how to do using ssh or whatever software i need to use for it.

You need to enable ssh in your router, download and install putty. From putty you choose ssh, put in ip address for your router, type your login and password when ask, and once logged you should be able to type commands .
Is worth to read a little bit about before you start play with it especially on openwrt forum. I don't use router with openwrt so can't guide more precise, sorry.

I've had a look at that page and I feel rather confused as to what needs to be done. ???
It appears that installation of the "igmpproxy" package is required. On that user guide page, it states --
First you need to install the package
opkg install igmpproxy
I presume that the "opkg" command is part of the default OpenWrt installation and it takes the "install" argument plus the name of a package to install. It is not clear, to me, from where one is supposed to obtain the "igmpproxy" package. Perhaps it is already there, within a default OpenWrt installation, and just needs to be installed.
If that is the case, then you would need to login to the CLI of the TP-Link device, using the administration credentials, via ssh. Then, at the command line prompt, just type --
opkg install igmpproxy
If no error messages are displayed, then that would be the first step completed.
Perhaps other members, those who are familiar with using OpenWrt, will be able to assist, please?

yes i installed it but i dont know to edit these settings via commandline ssh.
i can see igmpproxy is installed but i dont know how to edit it. so far after reading from internet it is linux based need to use some linux commands for it

I think you got list of commands in link in your post above, not sure if all info there is correct (like ip address), but I believe these are commands you need. Try to find thread on openwrt forum regarding this setup, especially for UK users.
-
Problem is we don't know the original configuration or even what IPTV service this is.
I was under the impression that IPTV is usually carried over a different VLAN at the modem?

i tired copy pasting commands but it didn't work

yes it is carried by different vlan with different vlan id

I see this https://openwrt.ebilan.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=132&p=1009&hilit=multicast#p1009 but you're right, its kinda complicated setting it up especially if you aren't used to command line text editors like vi.
Might be worth installing nano as its an easier text editor to use.
opkg update; opkg install nano

i installed SQM and but sometimes i feel game is laggy and stuttering.

Thank you so much Sir! I have been using open wrt with SQM and never been so happy about pings. now everyone can watch youtube netflix without effecting my pings in games. Thank you again for letting me know about it :angel:
