Need help to group and limit all wireless IPs

Hello. I have recently setup a bridged modem and router and am using the gargoyle firmware.

I have figured out how to use the QoS and it is very effective.

what i am trying to achieve is for my PC (see pic - connected via LAN) to have a dedicated ~200kb when it is needed (gaming). I.e limit all other traffic on the network to a maximum of 800kbs download to share between themselves. all other traffic is wireless.

at first i used the gargoyle router to connect the other 8 devices via wireless, but they all have their own IPs. i thought if i added a 3rd party wireless router and send all wireless traffic through that before hitting the gargoyle router, that i would be able to 'pool' all the wireless traffic together.

i just need help in doing so, as each device is still showing a unique IP. can i achieve this via certain ports or transport protocol?

thank you in advance

have you considered using the "default service class" setting to dump all the wireless traffic into a group?

can you expand on that a little please?

if i could blanket everyones connection and then exclude my own that would do the trick also.

You need at least 2 classes, 1 for your computers traffic and one for everyone else.

Create a classification rule that puts your computer into the correct class.
Directly beneath the "Classification Rules" section you will see a dropdown box labelled "Default Service Class".
Set this to your class for everyone else.

Anyone who doesn't fall under any rule will automatically get put into the class selected in the drop down list.
