Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

I bought a router with Bandwidth control function and i would like to give ~100Kbps guarantee to Guild Wars 2 in order to avoid lagging out if my brother watch a video on the other PC. (all wired, no wifi running)

In the panel i have 3 options:
1) IP (single or range)
2) Port (single or range)
3) Min Max Up Down

In order to beeing sure i’m not also targeting other stuff, how should I set it up to give properly priority to GW2?

N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router
Model No. TD-W8980

Many thanks if you can help me with this!

I succeded to target GW2, but i still need an answer about how much bandwidth reservation is needed to run GW2 properly…

can someone help me please? 100kbps down 50kbps up is enough? i guess programmers should know this because is based on game input size

Good luck.

You Figure most routers produced in the last 15 years were MBs routeres, and with the technology changing to GBs system more data is already flowing.

I would suggest more along the lines of Mb’s rather than KBs if your aiming for lag free. Especially if you have a decent internet connection. What I’ve always told my friends in the past when asked that same question, Take half your upstream and downstream and thats what your PC should run at for effectiveness. If its not then you have issues.

I got a GBs router, sadly my connection it’s a 4megabit so with like effective 1MBps download and 250 KBps upload
The thing is: i try to track gw2 connection dialogue, according to NETbalancer (software) it should deal around 2 KBps but i’m not sure that i’m reading it correctly.

I’m doing exatly what u says, but then i’m taking away a lot of bandwidth to other devices, so was asking for something more specific, if is possible to let me and my bro, for istance, using different devices with minimum troubles.

btw, thanks for your help
