Looks like a pretty weird QoS implementation to me. Are there other QoS menus or sections that you haven't posted screenshots of?

Having used both DD-WRT and Tomato QoS fairly extensively(home and small office) I'd recommend flashing either of the two, if that is an option.

no thats it unless i select one of the ones the router already has, but they dont seem to do anything
also i dont think those custom firmwares are compatible with my router

Honestly, that QoS seems pretty basic. It's quite possible that it's not very functional at all, like mentioned above. Your best bet would be to buy something cheap like an Asus N10 or N16 and flash it with Tomato firmware. If you just can't afford it or aren't willing to buy another router, you can make an attempt at configuring this one. You didn't state your goal in the original post, but I assume you want to prioritize your machine the highest. I'd start by creating one entry for your PC.

QoS direction: upstream
Not sure what options you have for QoS type, but I assume custom is what you'll need.

QoS parameters... any rule name you want.
DSCP classification is a ruleset to define how the packets are prioritized. It's basically a first level categorization that occurs before the queue priority, so for your machine you'll want to use 111000 (CS7). This ensures that your router never intentionally drops any packets that are being sent out by your machine.
Queue priority should be set to the highest level available in your drop list.

This is where it starts to get tricky. Different routers expect things to be entered differently. You'll have to play around and see what it's willing to accept, but you essentially want your computer's IP as the source. The subnet mask needs to be 255.255.255.255. You want to include all ports, so try leaving it blank. If it forces you to enter something, you could enter 0 to 65535 and probably have success.

Hopefully it lets you leave the destination information blank. If it does, it should trigger the rule regardless of the destination. If you're forced to enter things, you may have more trial and error... You want to encompass the entire internet, so you could try entering 0.0.0.0 and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.

It may turn out that selecting 'all IP addresses' under IP tag makes things easier and takes away the destination IP zone while leaving the source. If that's the case, you'll want to use the source information listed above.

This will likely be much more reliable with a better router. Anything that runs tomato is very user-friendly and of the dozens of Asus N-16 routers I've set up for people, I've yet to see one fail without being attributed to a power surge.

Edit: I forgot to mention above that it's possible that router won't prioritize your traffic higher than other traffic with only the one rule. It's conceivable that you'll need to add a second rule that encompasses all IP addresses (0.0.0.0 for source and destination) and all ports. That rule should have the DSCP classification set to any selection lower than 111000 and any priority lower than the highest.

gonna bump this, i am having latenecy issues that just started today, even before changing these settings, i have a pretty constant 150-170 ping to every server i normally have like 40 ping on, no one else is using the internet so any insight would be appreciated.
