How can you divide the internet bandwidth?

Ja

I have the following problem:

We have a 100,000 line and I would like to split the bandwidth up a bit, because I'm not entirely satisfied with the prioritization and background application settings in the Fritzbox. Can I divide this up otherwise? To be more specific: we have a smart TV, a ps4, 4 cell phones and 2 laptops. Before that, the Ps4 was prioritized and the TV belonged to the filter of the background application, and yet the TV used most of our fire work.

My

No one needs to disable Wi-Fi on the television, especially since all 4 and 2 laptops are included.

100k lines and that's not enough to add 200k.

Ri

Sure you have a data rate problem at all?

Because the television alone can't even come close to using 100 Mbit / s.

Your router must be able to divide it up, otherwise it won't work.

Ja

With large part, of course, I don't mean the full 100k but about 50-60k. I called the 1&1 customer center and they said yesterday, for example, that of the 95k who arrived the Internet television was the most demanding. When we switched off the TV for a test, everything worked again. So in short: Yes, I'm relatively sure

Ja

So we use smart iptv on TV - we even use it every day. And 100k is the maximum with us, we had topped up twice in the past. So more is not possible in our area

If I read that correctly, only the upload and not the download will be influenced in the prioritization. And the TV needs a lot of download to view the program on the TV. When gaming you need a fast upload to transfer the keystrokes, etc. If it is tight, no other data is transferred, such as backups to a cloud.

It could be interference caused by the multicast method in "Live TV" and video streaming.

All (LAN) switches, routers and repeaters must support the IGMPv3 protocol (called "Optimizing transmission for live TV" in Fritz products) or at least IGMP snooping for multicast data.

If a switch, router or repeater does not support IGMPv3, the process causes overloading of WLAN or LAN devices, because without IGMPv3 support, all muticast data packets are sent individually to all registered devices simultaneously via unicast when streaming. This can cause the entire network to be overloaded / flooded with data packets, especially with slow WLAN devices or larger networks.

This situation is sometimes in the router LOG,… IGMPv3 or IGMPv2… It is there.

Solution:

Activate "Optimize transmission for live TV" in Fritz products.

Multicast and IGMP are explained here:

First of all, thank you for the answer, but I've found that prioritizing doesn't help much (I don't notice any kind of improvement in the Internet either when testing the Internet speed on the console or when playing games).

Ja

As far as I now understand from it, you meant that I was under

WLAN

Should switch on. If so, that's it

Ri

What does the majority mean. Even a 4K stream should not need more than 35 Mbit / s. What kind of effects do you have on the other devices while the television is on?

And do the 100 Mbit / s arrive in full?

My

Do a speed test in the evening to see if that's even true.

Ma

So if the option "Optimize transmission for live TV" is available and activated, then that is good and correct.

However, if you use a WLAN repeater or a 2nd router or a LAN switch without IGMPv3 support, this network flood can occur during TV streaming. It can (but doesn't have to) be a possible cause.

The concept with the priority of network participants and types of data (QoS) is a good concept. Limiting the data rates only artificially slows the network down, with the result that processes take even longer.

As others have already noted, the problem is not the data rate of 100 Mbit / s, but rather the "correct services" (telephone, streaming, …) to be prioritized. Because telephoning and TV streaming will never need 100 Mbit / s. An HD TV stream can still manage with around 6 Mbit / s, so around 10 Mbit / s per TV stream will be sufficient (for UHD ~ 25 Mbit / s).

You need reaction time, it should be uninterrupted. Giving priority to huge downloads (e.g. The PS4) is nonsense and counterproductive in my opinion, because whether a download takes 10% longer doesn't matter, but if an interactive live game (it hardly needs a data rate) has dropouts, that bothers a lot. The bottleneck is not the amount of data, but the response time depending on the type / service / purpose of the data.

Unfortunately I can't tell you how and what's best, I'm not a gamer!

Ja

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time and answering me.

There are (according to Fritzbox and own Speestests from different devices, of course all one after the other and only the respective device was registered with the router) almost exactly 100k. If an (Internet) program is then opened on the television, the same speed test (parallel to the television, same 10cm distance to the router) is reduced to about 40k. I don't quite understand thatπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Ja

Yes it comes to about 100k

Ri

Okay, even if the television should draw 60 Mbit / s (could possibly be at 4K depending on the coding, but I think it's doubtful) you still have 40 Mbit / s, which should be enough for everything.

My

Mh ok I don't know what to do next.
