how to restrict bandwidth usage by xbox

kevinmanuel · 28th April 2018

HI,

My son is hogging too much bandwidth in our house when he plays halo on his xbox.I propose to restrict his bandwidth allowance using the QOS feature.
A previous forum posting showed how to limit a uTorrent user.
I've added 2 rules to limit his bandwidth to 10%; one for LAN->WAN & one for WAN->LAN, but I have no idea about the internal port parameter.
Can anyone advise
1) if this is needed for the rule
2) what it should be
3) if this rule will reliably work - I havent set any static IP addresses - does this mean that the xbox wont necessarily always be on 192.168.1.100?thanks in advance for your advice

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
