TropicaLStorM Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ever heard the saying that "No Good Favor Goes Unpunished" ? Well here is a perfect example. Well, a few days ago I bought my dad an HD Roku box (http://www.roku.com). Not going to lie - the thing is awesome. Tons of movies and everything, but it has it's downside. My dad has been glued to this thing while he is not at work. That's fine, but the bad part is that it drains my internet connection. My ping in counter strike is normally around 40 - 60 ... when this internet vampire AKA Roku is turned on my ping shoots up to around 400-800 (NO LIE). I must find a way to destroy this thing. It has ruined my gaming experience. Yeah.. I have already told my dad what's up. But it's like trying to take a new purse away from a women. Not going to happen. I must destroy it while he goes to work. Must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicaLStorM Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 @enigma - Thanks for telling me about QoS. I am actually reading about it now. Going to figure out how to make it work with my router. Much love. @Deadlock That is hilarious, that is probably exactly how I looked when I realized my mistake.
