You keep getting in arguments with your roommates about slow network performance when playing video games at home. You notice whenever they are all streaming TV or movies using their smart TVs your latency goes up and bandwidth goes down. What feature of your router could you use to prioritize your traffic over theirs and get back to "pwning noobs"?
Quality of Service (QoS) is a common feature on routers that allows you to set minimums and maximums to certain types of traffic and give priority to some traffic over others. For example you could set a max bandwidth for some devices or simply give your devices network priority over other device's traffic.
