Quality of Service for wifi

[DavidBr]

I have a WYZE camera at our front door linked by wifi to a Samsung tablet

I would like it to provide a continuous image rather than having it disconnect sometimes, as it takes time to reconnect when tapped. [Sometimes the visitor has left in the interim].

The combined modem / router is a Shaw Hitron which works well generally. Speed is good.

Shaw Support was not able to help but I am waiting on a supervisor to reply.

Does anyone know if I can prioritize the Wyze camera on the Hitron using "quality of service"

P.S. [I thoroughly recommend WYZE [a Seattle company] as gives clear image and records visitors at a reasonable price]

I believe this camera only continuously records to a microSD card, the cloud recordings are event recordings when sound and motion is detected.

@DavidBr -- it takes time to reconnect when tapped.

What did WYZE Support say when you contacted them?

Note that "QOS" (Quality Of Service) applies to traffic between your cable-modem and the Internet -- not between the various devices connected to your Hitron.  The "wired" devices on your local network are communicating either at 100 or 1000 Mbits per second, and your "wireless" devices probably are communicating at 150 to 300 Mbits per second (if they have a strong signal between the device and your cable-modem). So, your local network is "fast" -- probably faster than the speed from your cable-modem to Shaw's network.

What band is the camera communicating with the router?
