Improve Internet Speed in Windows 10 with QoS

Hello ladies and gentlemen, today I'm going to show you how to increase your internet speed. Now I have pretty good internet and this means that if you have slower internet, this tip will probably help you more than it will help me because I already have a fast internet connection. Now let's go ahead and explain to you what's going on here. Let's go and close this up. Okay so I'm going to go ahead and open up Paint and really quickly explain what I'm doing so I can actually, so you can understand what you're about to do. Now this is your computer and you have a lot of incoming and outgoing internet connection requests coming into your computer. This, for example, could be YouTube. Sorry for my stupid drawings. This could be, for example, a video game that you're playing and when you're playing video games, it's probably more important for you to dedicate your bandwidth to go to your video game in order for you to get good latency, good reaction time, and basically a better communication. So if somebody's sitting on your network, if this is your router for example, if somebody's sitting on your network and using, for example, YouTube, I think it's in your best interest to allocate the bandwidth to go to your game. Now we're going to go ahead and do that. Now I want you to remember your router has this setting. It's called quality of service. This quality of service thing basically prioritizes different services on your network and gives them the appropriate bandwidth. For example, if it sees a streaming video coming in, it's going to probably prioritize this over a download that's going on because that's not that important. You want your videos to look quicker. You can also do this on a Windows level and I'm going to show you how to do it real quick. It's called quality of service. Now go to your search bar and type group policy. Group policy. I already have it over here. It's called edit group policy. Click on here and go ahead and expand this and you're going to see administrative templates. Click on that. In the administrative templates, you're going to click on network. You're going to double click on it. Let's go ahead and maximize it so you can see it a little bit better and you're going to see what's called the quality of service packet scheduler. Click on that. Now the second option from the top will be called limit reservable bandwidth. What you want to do if you have a slow internet connection and if you feel like your computer is not prioritizing things well, you can probably help your streaming or your games run a little bit better especially on a slow internet connection. Click on edit. After you click on edit, click on enabled. Change this to 100 and press either apply or okay and that's it. Remember, in order to have this option, you have to have Windows Pro. It's not going to work on computers that have Windows Home or Student. You do have to have a Windows Pro license in order for you to have this stuff. I hope this helps guys. I do not like to waste your time and hopefully this explanation helps.
