Priority Wi-Fi Network over Ethernet Cable

Hello everyone, I have a problem. I have a Freebox Revolution and I'm a player of the FPS CS:GO, and a good ping is crucial. However, the problem is that there are people using the Wi-Fi at my place while I’m using the Ethernet cable, and I have a worse connection than if I was playing over Wi-Fi. Do you know how to make, for example, 70% of the internet traffic go through the Ethernet cable and 30% through the Wi-Fi?
Thanks in advance,
a desperate player :(

    hi thingy

    you can't take both

      Hello

      What I believe he wants to do is limit the bandwidth of Wi-Fi users to reserve the largest part through Ethernet.

        Yes, that's exactly it. When I use my laptop (not powerful enough to run the game), it shows me a better ping than through the Ethernet cable when I run the connection test at the same time.

        that doesn't exist,
        the wifi bandwidth limits itself, without wanting to go into too many details, but wifi operates in half duplex while ethernet is in full duplex on a switch or a box.
        this makes all the difference in terms of speed.
        Then, the pings on game servers are worth what they are worth, which is not much.
        If you really want to measure something serious, download winMTR and try it on 8.8.8.8 or on testdebit.info
        just some serious stuff.

        Okay, thanks for the information, but one last question, is it possible to further limit the Wi-Fi bandwidth?

        It depends on the router; some can do it, but most boxes cannot.
        Except for completely turning off the wifi.

    Hi,
    that's false.
    How can you say that Wi-Fi is prioritized over your Ethernet connection when it will always be slower?
    If you're not fully utilizing the available Ethernet bandwidth, the problem lies with your PC, not with your connection.
    If that were the case, you would connect via Wi-Fi and we wouldn't be discussing this anymore.
