Hello, i'm back again with a problem, i don't know why but youtube makes me lag on games. I've set my games on fast class (same configuration as in screens in this topic) and default class for the rest is normal. But it makes me lag still, when i check connection list and try to see if youtube traffic is classified as fast, it is not, so that's strange.

Failure to use ACC and/or allocate enough minBW would be my first guess at what is causing your lag.

I gave it enough bandwidth :

Download is 240kbps and upload 340kbps. Game uses 10ko/s up and down.

What about ACC, i changed target ip to my isp dns, can you help please i experience lag in League of Legends when i play and someone is watching a stream or a video in HD and its annoying.

Not sure if its a bug but whenever i start getting ping issues, i check ACC and my download speed is 10000kbps but it says 4000 or 5000 so i change a setting and save it, and then ACC is back to 100000kbps and no more lag...is this a bug?

The way the ACC works is well described in this thread and the Wiki.
ACC turns down your link limit to maintain your ping times.

If you link limit got turned down to 40% then your ping times must have gotten higher than the threshold. If ping times improve ACC will increase your link limit.

Possibly your threshold is too low, otherwise not sure what is going on for you.

Well that makes sense now but what threshold are you talking about?

Are you sure you entered correct download/upload speed? You have to enter it in kbps, but remember KBps is not the same as kbps and MBps is not same than mbps (watch uppercases).

Yeh on my modem it says :

10970 Kbps
973 Kbps

So i have set these two values for upload and download.

After disabling wireless (means i'm the only one connected), i get no more ping spikes.

Here is my QoS download page : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?i ... tility.png

And the upload one: http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?i ... ility2.png

So something is wrong with my QoS setup as ingame i get 400-1000ms ping spikes, but now that i disabled wireless i get a very stable ping. The thing is even when someone else is connected at night but doesnt use more than 100ko/s i experience lags...even tho i have a 11000kbps download speed.

I don't know my friend. No one has previously reported a connection between Wifi being on and QoS functions for hardwired connections and I have no idea about that.

Did you check your connections page to make sure the connections you are using are classified the way you intend? You have a complicated rule setup.

Is your router's CPU being overloaded when the Wifi is on?

These are the only things I can suggest.
