Hi ,

I am using my 54M Wireless ADSL2 router which came with my Airtel broadband with decent wifi range.

I wan to limit the utilization of network bandwidth when someone do the Streaming ( i.e. Youtube,vimeo..etc).

how can i achieve the same with QoS option in my router setting page.

PFA is snapshot of QoS setting page in my router :

you are mistaking QoS for some bandwidth limiting application.QoS only prioritize traffic it does not limit them.it means if you are opening a web page while someone is streaming then using QoS your page will load a few seconds before the streaming begins.

how do i prioritize my HTTP/HTTPS (normal web surfing) traffic over streaming or torrent (FTP) traffic.

also read your router manual.
