Router QoS that actually helped game traffic

Not a product ad. Concrete steps that reduced spike deaths on a shared home connection.

I enabled QoS, prioritized the PC MAC, capped phone updates at night. Spike deaths dropped. Not zero, better.

Do not put the game PC on guest Wi‑Fi "for security" and then wonder why you rubberband.

Wired still wins. QoS is for when the house has four streams and a cloud backup fighting you.

Paused OneDrive during scrim blocks. Embarrassing how much that fixed.

Summary path: wire if you can, pause cloud sync, prioritize PC MAC, stop phone OS updates mid-plant. I will write a cleaner sticky later if people want.

Want. Sticky-adjacent in Support. This is the boring stuff that keeps people in fights.
